ABSTRACTThe reconstruction of the diamond {1111} surface is re-examined by means of density functional theory based tight-binding molecular dynamics. Evidence is found for competition between a graphitizing tendency leading to an unreconstructed but relaxed 1 × 1 surface and a π-bonded chain-like 2 × 1 reconstruction. The implications of the possible co-existence of these two distinct surface phases for diamond growth are discussed.
