Screening of point charges in Si quantum dots
2005
The screening of point charges in hydrogenated Si quantum dots ranging in diameter from 10 A to 26 A has been studied using first-principles density-functional methods. We find that the main contribution to the screening function originates from the electrostatic field set up by the polarization charges at the surface of the nanocrystals. This contribution is well described by a classical electrostatics model of dielectric screening.
