[Wien] Reconstructed Si 100 surface

Muhammad,

When you move the two Si atoms with the dangling bond towards eachother 
you will create a dimer on the surface, no extra passivation by H atoms 
is needed, just ensure you make your slab symmetric where possible. If 
you google Si recontructions you should find very exact geometrical 
information since this has been done many times before.

Best regards,

Michael Sluydts
