Atomic exchange mean field study of intermixing of Au on Ag(110)
Abstract
A mean field method to study heteroepitaxial thin film growth is applied to growth, intermixing and surface reconstructions of Au on Ag(110). The results are in accordance with experimentally observed ``burrowing'' at submonolayer coverages and growth of elongated, (1 × 3) reconstructed, Au clusters at higher coverages. At coverages of few monolayers the surface between the clusters has a high concentration of Ag, and ordered rows of Au are formed just beneath the surface.
