Am. Rodriguez et al., STRUCTURE AND ENERGETICS OF HIGH-INDEX FE, AL, CU AND NI SURFACES USING EQUIVALENT CRYSTAL THEORY, Surface science, 309, 1994, pp. 625-631
Equivalent crystal theory (ECT) is applied to the study of multilayer
relaxations and surface energies of high-index faces of Fc, Al, Ni and
Cu. Changes in interplanar spacing as well as registry of planes clos
e to the surface and the ensuing changes of surface energies are discu
ssed in reference to available experimental data and other theoretical
calculations. Since ECT is a semiempirical method, we investigate the
dependence of the results on the variation of the input used.
