Abstract
The energetics of some surface defects for the (100), (110), and (111) surfaces of Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pd, and Pt are studied using effective medium theory. Among the calculated data are the surface energy, the energetics of some reconstructions, the formation energy for steps and islands, and the activation energy for diffusion of adatoms.Keywords
