Abstract

Energetics of steps and kinks on fcc metal surfaces were investigated with the embedded atom method (EAM). The simulation results explained the relative density of kinks in the 〈110〉 and 〈001〉 steps on fcc (110) surfaces observed in STM images. Also, the calculated kink formation energies in the 〈110〉 steps on Cu(100) and Ag(111) were in good agreement with recent STM measurements.
