Step-facilitated dissociation of small metal clusters: A molecular-dynamics study (original) (raw)

Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 1994

Abstract

The motion of small Pt clusters at a step edge on the Pt(111) surface was studied by molecular-dynamics simulations using the corrected effective-medium theory. It was found that interlayer diffusion of the clusters proceeds via dissociation and consecutive single-atom exchanges with the edge atoms, rather than hopping over the edge as a unit. The dissociation and the exchanges occur in
