Abstract
We have developed an empirical tight-binding model for use in molecular-dynamics simulations to study hydrogen-silicon systems. The hydrogen-silicon interaction is constructed to reproduce the electronic energy levels and vibration frequencies of silane (SiH4). Further use of the model in the studies of disilane (Si2H6) and of hydrogen on the Si(111) surface also yields results in good agreement with first-principles calculations and experiments.
