Adlayer core-level shifts of admetal monolayers on transition metal substrates and their relation to the surface chemical reactivity

Dieter Hennig, Maria Veronica Ganduglia-Pirovano, Matthias Scheffler

Using density-functional-theory we study the electronic and structural properties of a monolayer of Cu on the fcc (100) and (111) surfaces of the late 4d transition metals, as well…
