Potential energy surfaces for SiCl2 adsorption on Si(100) surfaces are analyzed.
SiCl2 is adsorbed without significant energy barriers.
Intradimer and interdimer adsorption of SiCl2 follow similar dynamics.
Adsorption of multiple SiCl2 on adjacent sites proceed similarly to the first adsorption.
Activation energies of SiCl2 diffusion over the surface and desorption are similar.
