The physical origin of tip-induced motion of Cu adatoms on anisotropic Cu surfaces is investigated by means of total energy calculations which are based on three different semi-empirical potentials. The calculations show that for certain tip-adatom distances the activation barrier for the adatom to move towards the tip disappears completely, whereas the barrier in the opposite direction increases...
