Sy. Davydov, Estimate of the potential relief (rippling) of a surface associated with adsorption of d-metal atoms on d-substrates, TECH PHYS L, 24(12), 1998, pp. 937-938
A cohesion approach developed previously by Davydov and Tikhonov to describ
e adsorption properties [Surf. Sci. 371, 157 (1997)] is used to calculate t
he ripple parameter Omega = E-dif/E-des (where E-dif and E-des are the acti
vation energy of surface diffusion and the adsorption energy) for atoms of
d-metals adsorbed on a W(110) surface. The results of the calculations show
good agreement with the experimental data. (C) 1998 American Institute of
