Overview

Density-functional-theory calculations revealed that the diamond (001) surfaces and observed specific structures, where odd numbers of dimers form ribbonlike configurations. The mechanism of high-resolution AFM imaging was elucidated by force spectroscopy combined with first-principles calculations. Our findings provide a crucial foundation for optimizing the film growth process of diamond surfaces. This database provides the input files and the results of the DFT calculations by OpenMX.
