Abstract
A local orbital method is used to calculate the relaxed position of the unreconstructed (111) surface layer of atoms in a silicon or diamond crystal. The separation of the outermost layers decreases to about 40% of its bulk value and the surface energy is found to be about 1.0 eV per surface atom for silicon and 1.6 eV for carbon.
