Vi. Gavrilenko et al., Optical second-harmonic spectra of Si(001) with H and Ge adatoms: First-principles theory and experiment - art. no. 165325, PHYS REV B, 6316(16), 2001, pp. 5325
We present calculated second-harmonic-generation (SHG) spectra of the Si(00
1) surface based on a first-principles description of eigenvalues and eigen
vectors using nb initio pseudopotentials. We also present SHG spectra for G
e-covered Si(001). The theoretical results explain all essential features o
f recent experimental SHG spectra of the Si(001)-(2 x 1) surface with low c
overages of hydrogen and/or germanium, which alter the E-1 resonance in con
trasting ways. The strong adatom specificity of the spectra results from re
distribution of the adatom-related electronic states on the surface.
