Mi. Rojas et al., Simulation study of Pd submonolayer films on Au(hkl) and Pt(hkl) and theirrelationship to underpotential deposition, LANGMUIR, 16(24), 2000, pp. 9539-9546
The structure and stability of palladium adlayers on Au(hkl) and Pt(hkl) we
re studied at different coverage degrees by means of Monte Carlo simulation
s using the interatomic potentials of the embedded atom model. In all cases
the Pd films were found to grow epitaxially and pseudomorphically with the
crystallographic orientation of the substrate. The differences and similar
ities of the adlayer with the substrate were analyzed.
