dc.description.abstractA Monte-Carlo (MC) study of the surface reconstruction and relaxation of the diamond (100) and (111) surfaces is presented. Surface reconstruction events have been simulated using as empirical 2 + 3 body potential fitted to ab initia data. MC simulations are first performed on thick diamond slabs with (100) and (111) surfaces in order to evaluate the quality of the potential. The results obtained are then compared to those obtained using computational methods and experimental results. Reconstruction results for nanodiamond crystals with (100) surfaces of sizes ranging from 0.5 to 2nm are then presented and discussed.en
