Effect of the long-range adsorbate interactions on the atomic self-assembly on metal surfaces
Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that short linear chains are often formed in the early stage of heteroepitaxy on the (111) noble metal surfaces at low temperatures. Here, we show that the surface-state mediated long-range interaction between adsorbates is the driving force for the self...
