The first stages of growth and organisation of a silver atom deposit on a nickel (111) surface have been investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy. For a coverage lower than two monolayers and depending on the surface defect content, deposition at room temperature leads to a random distribution of small Ag islands on the surface, while growth at 400K shows the Ag trend to form islands mainly...
We generalize previous stochastic classical trajectory-ghost atom calculations for describing palladium deposition onto the Ni(111) surface between 0.1 and 0.5 monolayers. The growth evolves through two-dimensional islands. The islands are formed following the downward funneling mechanism. Surface temperature does not affect the island growth.
