Abstract
A structure model for the type-C defect on Si(001) is proposed. The mo del is based on the assumption that the type-C defect is originated fr om a removal of only one atom in the second layer and not a removal of two atoms on the surface. Optimized structure obtained from the first -principles calculation reproduces scanning tunnel microscope images b oth at negative and positive sample biases.
