Clustering on Magnesium Surfaces – Formation and Diffusion Energies

Abstract The formation and diffusion energies of atomic clusters on Mg surfaces determine the surface roughness and formation of faulted structure, which in turn affect the mechanical deformation of Mg. This paper reports first principles density function theory (DFT) based quantum mechanics calcula...
