24. The well-known "zwitterionic" diradical character of the surface Si dimer, with the lower Si atom of the buckled dimer characterized by a partial positive charge and the upper atom by a partial negative charge, has been explicitly verified in our study by generating the maximally localized Wannier functions which allow the total charge to be partitioned in a chemically transparent and unambiguous way; see: Marzari, N.; Vanderbilt, D. Phys. Rev. B 1997, 56, 12847. Silvestrelli, P. L.; Marzari, N.; Vanderbilt, D.; Parrinello, M. Solid State Commun. 1998, 107, 7.
