Temperature dependence and stability of surface structures uri icon

abstract

  • Burton and Jura have reported a calculation that predicts a structural phase transition for the (100) surface of an fcc crystal. Although the calculation was for Ar, one might expect such a transition to be possible for other fcc materials. However, we find that a structural transition of the kind predicted is impossible, because the rearranged structure is unstable. 1974 The American Physical Society.
