Abstract

The BFS method for alloys is applied to the study of Co growth on Cu(111). The parameterization of the Co-Cu system is obtained from first-principles calculations, and tested against known experimental features for low coverage Co deposition on Cu(100) and Cu(111). Atomistic simulations are performed to investigate the behavior of Co on Cu(111) as a function of coverage.
