38. The adsorption geometries and their energetics for the Ag adatom on the faulted Si(111) 2 X 2 surface corresponding to the local structure in FHUC are almost the same as those on unfaulted Si(111) 2 X 2 surface (see Table IV), which implies that the diffusion processes of the Ag adatom are nearly identical on both surfaces.
