abstract = {STM images of surface structures of an Sb-covered Ge film
growing on Si(111):Sb are presented, showing the (root3 x
root3) structure on Si(111):Sb, a (6root3x6root3) structure
consisting of hexagons with a size of 40 Angstrom with
triangular subunits of (1 x 1) structure for the
three-monolayer Ge film, and a (2 x 1) Sb-structure for the
thick relaxed Ge film. Using an ab initio total energy and
force method, we have investigated the stability of the
different structures of Ge(111):Sb(1 ML) as a function of
the lateral lattice constant. We find that the (2 x 1)
chain-reconstruction of Ge(111):Sb has a range of stability
between about $5.5\%$ compression and $1\%$ expansion. For
larger dilatations the (1 x 1) structure becomes stable, for
larger compressions the T-4 (root3 x root3) structure does.
The observed (1 x 1) structure on top of the hexagons can be
explained by an $8\%$ dilatation of the surface (compared to
Si bulk) due to the stress exerted by the Sb atoms on the Ge
film and at the rim of the finite hexagons.},
