Abstract
The rapid development of ab initio methods makes possible the test of semi-empirical potentials which retain some advantages in the simulation of large systems. Even systems involving oxygen vacancies can be studied with semi-empirical methods. Modelling of the Si(1 0 0)-SiO2 interface raises some specific problems due to charge transfers and severe simplifications are still necessary.
