Abstract

We present a detailed investigation of β-SiC (100) surface reconstructions. Minimal energy configurations at both C- and Si-terminations are determined by using a density-functional based molecular-dynamics method. We provide information on the energetic order of various metastable surfaces and describe the geometrical details. In addition, we also study Si- and C-enriched configurations.
