Abstract:
Modified embedded atom method (MEAM) has been used to ascertain the change in the surface energy density of (1 × 2) missing row (MR) reconstruction from initial (1 × 1) ideal (110), (211) and (311) surfaces for seven FCC transition metals Au, Pt, Ag, Pd, Rh, Cu and Ni. The results show that the MR reconstruction can be formed naturally on the Au (110), Pt (110) and Pt (311) surfaces and are better than calculated results of the embedded atom method (EAM) while comparing with experimental results. In addition to the surface energy explanation, the results are also explained in terms of the valence electron structure and surface topography. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
