Abstract

Static quantum ab initio and quantum semiempirical molecular dynamics calculations were employed to study reconstructions of (100) diamond surfaces in presence of hydrogen and oxygen. The results indicate that the energetically most favorable structures of oxygenated surfaces are those with chemisorbed hydroxyl groups. It was found that hydrogen bonds are formed among chemisorbed oxygenated species. The formation of these hydrogen bonds is shown to be an important factor in stabilization of adlayers. A number of important vibrational modes characteristic of oxygenated diamond surfaces were identified. The analysis of surface vibrational spectra demonstrates the influence of the local environment on the position of vibrational modes and can be useful for interpretation of experimental data.
