Comparative study of adatom manipulation on several fcc metal surfaces
Chandana Ghosh, Abdelkader Kara, Talat S. Rahman
For a set of fcc metals our total energy calculations, based on many body potentials, show that activation barriers for lateral manipulation of an adatom at a step edge depend on t…
