Abstract
Anisotropic Cu-O islands form striped periodic supergratings upon anne aling an oxygen-exposed Cu(110) surface. While the formation of these striped phases has been attributed to long-range repulsive forces betw een stripes, we show using the one-dimensional lattice gas model and M onte Carlo simulations that short range adsorbate-adsorbate interactio ns are capable of producing striped phases.
