Surface-Mediated Atomic Geometry and Decoupled States in Short Chains on a Si(553)−Au Surface - theory

The attached files contain the data used to produce the figures presented in the paper: T.Kwapinski, M.Krawiec, M. Jałochowski, Surface-Mediated Atomic Geometry and Decoupled States in Short Chains on a Si(553)−Au Surface, JPCL 2026. The file main.f90 contains the program code written in Fortran90 for numerical calculations of LDOS (Local Density of States) and charge distribution along atomic chains placed on different surfaces. The calculations are performed within the tight-binding Hamiltonian framework and the Green function technique, assuming a mettalic surface as well as non-metallic substrate with energy-gapped spectral function obtained from the STS experiment.The attached files contain the data used to produce the figures presented in the paper: T.Kwapinski, M.Krawiec, M.
