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…

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…
