Abstract:The article addresses the problem of modeling thin epitaxial iron films on a Cu (100) substrate by calculating the surface potential. The purpose of the simulation is to determine the film structure. The model uses the paired Lennard-Jones potential to describe the interatomic interaction. We calculate the surface potential of the copper substrate using the first 10 surface atomic layers. The iron atoms in the first layer are placed in the minima of the surface potential. The surface potential of the monoatomi… Show more
