heal.abstractThe self-diffusion mechanisms of single adatoms on the Cu(110) surface have been studied using molecular dynamics simulation and a many-body potential within the second-moment approximation of the tight-binding model. From a detail trajectory analysis we found a variety of diffusion mechanisms, the hopping being the favoured one and we deduced the migration energies for the most important among them. At high temperatures, saturation in diffusion frequency for both hopping and exchange mechanisms is observed, indicating that the diffusion proceeds via complicated and concerted movements. In addition, we estimated the formation energy for the spontaneous creation of the vacancy-adatom pair, in good agreement with the experiment. Furthermore, from the temperature dependence of the relaxed adatom positions we found that the adatom exhibits strong contraction compared to the bulk interlayer spacing, attaining -20% at high temperatures.
