Effect of quantum confinement of surface electrons on an atomic motion on nanoislands
A. S. Smirnov, N. N. Negulyaev, L. Niebergall +3
Ab initio calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the quantum confinement of surface electrons to nanoislands can significantly affect the growth process…

Ab initio approach for atomic relaxations in supported magnetic clusters
V. S. Stepanyuk, A. L. Klavsyuk, L. Niebergall +3
We present a newly developed scheme for atomic relaxations of magnetic supported clusters. Our approach is based on the full potential Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green's function metho…

Long-range electronic interactions between adatoms on transition metal surfaces
V. S. Stepanyuk, L. Niebergall, A. N. Baranov +2
Ab initio calculations of surface-state mediated interactions between Cu adatoms on transition metal surfaces are presented. We concentrate on Co/Cu(111) and Co(0001) substrates an…
