Short dangling bond wires (DB wires), fabricated on H-terminated Si(001) surfaces, show patterns of displacement that depend on their length. We have performed density function calculations, with and without spin-polarisation, designed to investigate the atomic and electronic structure of these wires. As expected, we find that even length wires are accurately modelled by non-spin polarised calculations, whilst odd length wires must be modelled using spin-polarised calculations. In particular, the use of spin-polarisation provides quantative agreement with STM observations, rather than the qualitative agreement reported elsewhere.
