Abstract

The thermodynamic stability of diamond (100) surfaces as a function of degree of hydrogen and oxygen-related termination coverage has been theoretically studied using DFT techniques. The results show that an exchange of the hydrogen atoms with hydroxyl groups is disfavored, whereas a corresponding exchange with oxygen atoms (in the ketone or ether position) is energetically preferred. The adsorption of up to about 50 % oxygen coverage (ether position) is, however, largely disfavored compared to a fully hydrogen-terminated surface. However, this oxygen termination will be energetically improved as the coverage increases above the 50 % level. The adsorption energy per terminating species (at 100% surface coverage) is −4.13 eV, −4.30 eV, −5.95 eV and 6.21 eV for H, OH, O(ketone) and O(ether) species, respectively.
