Abstract
We report the results of first-principles molecular dynamics simulations of the physical properties of cubic SiC(001) surfaces. In particular, we disc uss the atomic geometries of several reconstructions, including (2 x I), c( 4 x 2) and (3 x 2), and compare computed STM images with recent experimenta l. results.
