Adhesion of electrodes on diamond (111) surface: A DFT study

Ichibhaa, Tom; Hongo, Kenta; Motochi, Isaac; Makau, N.W.; Amolo, G.O.; Maezono, Ryo (2018)

We explore possible candidates for metallic electrodes of diamond semiconductor from twenty kinds of metallic sheets on oxygen- or hydrogen-terminated diamond (111) surface as well as pristine one. Their adhesion strengths ...
Metal–semiconductor ohmic contacts: An ab initio Density Functional Theory study of the structural and electronic properties of metal–diamond (111)-(1 × 1) interfaces

Motochi, I.; Makau, N.W.; Amolo, G.O. (Diamond & Related Materials 23, 2012)

Metal contacts on clean, hydrogenated and oxygenated diamond surfaces have been studied using ab initio Density Functional Theory (DFT). Five metals, i.e., gold, titanium, tantalum, vanadium and palladium on the three ...
