First principles study of adsorbed Cu_n (n=1-4) microclusters on MgO(100): structural and electronic properties

V. Musolino, A. Selloni, R. Car

We present a density functional study of the structural and electronic properties of small Cu_n (n=1,4) aggregates on defect-free MgO(100). The calculations employ a slab geometry…
