Surface Growth and Diffusion Energetics of Ag Monolayers on Cu (001)
The growth of Ag monolayers on Cu (001) was studied by periodic Density Functional Theory (DFT). Despite the limited solid solubility of Ag in Cu, the growth of a single Ag overlayer on Cu (001) was predicted as feasible. In contrast, the growth of consecutive Ag monolayers was found to be energetic...
