Abstract

Bond-stretching frequencies for bonded-H (and D) on flat and vicinal Si(111) surfaces have been calculated using a model that includes (i) short range valence forces and (ii) dynamic effects due to dipole–dipole interactions. Dipole–dipole interactions have been calculated exactly for flat surfaces, and for vicinal surfaces off-cut in the$11\overline{2}$and$\overline{11}2$directions terminated respectively by monohydride, Si–H, and dihydride,Si–H2, bonding at the step edges. Using short range force constants and effective charges obtained from isolated Si–H andSi–H2stretching modes in hydrogenated amorphous Si, a-Si:H, as input parameters, the calculated coupled mode frequencies are in excellent agreement with experiment, i.e. using 5 empirical parameters, 16 frequencies in the range of 1500–2150 cm-1are fit to better than 0.14%, or ±2–3 cm-1.
