Reconstruction mechanism of fcc transition metal (001) surfaces

Open access

Abstract

Ab initio studies of the reconstruction mechanism of (001) fcc transition metal surfaces are presented, showing that a close-packed quasihexagonal reconstruction is possible for the late 5d metals Ir, Pt, and Au, while it is disfavored in the isovalent 4d metals Rh, Pd, and Ag. The driving mechanism is identified in the tensile excess stress of the unreconstructed surfaces. The stress overcomes the substrate resistance to reconstruction only in 5d metals, where it is much larger than in 4d metals because of the stronger relativistic effects. The origin of surface stress is a d charge depletion from the surface layer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
