Abstract
First-principles calculations of stress and energy have been performed on 1×1 substitutional and √3 × √3 adatom-covered Si(111) and Ge(111) surfaces, using a variety of column-III, -IV, and -V adsorbates. Trends in surface stresses are understood in terms of three contributing factors: the relative atomic size of the adsorbate and substrate atoms, the chemical nature of the adsorbate species, and the bonding topology of the surface reconstruction.
