Abstract
The deposition of copper cluster on the Cu(0 1 0) surface is studied by mol ecular dynamics simulation. We used a many-body potential based on the tigh t-binding model to describe the Cu-Cu interaction. Several quantities are c alculated to study the influence of the substrate size and substrate temper ature on the cluster deposition phenomenon. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
