✦ Synopsis

A comparison is made of the performance of the MIND0/3, MNDO, AM1, and PM3 methods in calculating the nature of the dimer reconstruction observed on the silicon (100) crystal surface. Based on this case study we conclude that MIND013 gives the most realistic results, with PM3 calculations being quite similar but both MNDO and AM1 missing some key features of this system and giving rather unrealistic charge distributions. Hence use of PM3 is recommended for Si containing molecules where a lack of parameters or other restrictions prevent the use of MINDO/3.
