Thermal stability of cluster arrays of group III elements on Si(111) surface

According to Goldschmidt’s promise for lattice contraction, mean value approximation for bond strength and the Lindemann’s criterion for melting, the bond length, bond strength and the melting temperature of cluster arrays consisting of group III elements and Si are considered. The predicted results correspond to the experimental results and computer simulation results well. # 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
