Evolution of the Adsorption Phases on (111) Terraces With Their Width

POSTER

Abstract

We study the evolution of the crystallization patterns, or phases, of monomer adsorption on (111) terraces, with the number $M$ of atomic sites in the width of the terrace up to and including $M = 8$. Pairwise adsorbate-adsorbate first, second and third neighbor interactions, whether attractive or repulsive, are taken into account.
