Abstract: Diffusion of silicon addimer along the trough and from the trough to the top of dimer row on the Si(100) surface are investigated by tight-binding molecular dynamics calculations using the environment-dependent tight-binding silicon potential and byab initiocalculations using the Car–Parrinello method. The studies discover new diffusion pathways consisting of rotation of addimer. These new pathways have energy barriers in excellent agreement with experiment data and are more energetically favorable than other diffusion pathways studied previously.
