Descripción
Periodic density functional calculations probe that step edges play a key role as source of defects during self-assembly. It is shown that the self-assembly process strongly reduces the energy required to strip an atom from the gold surface, locally increasing the concentration of surface defects. The thermodynamic driving force for the atom stripping is considerably more favorable along step-edge lines within the self-assembly than on the higher-coordinated terrace sites. Furthermore, the clustering of surface defects is considered, and we probe that the formation of aggregates of vacancies in the form of vacancy pits significantly stabilizes the self-assembly on the terraces of gold, where the role of the step edges is expected to be less significant. The high stability of pit-like structures arises from a balance between the corrugation and the enhanced bonding of defect-rich substrates. Our results demonstrate the important role that step edges play during assembly and could be very valuable for discovering defect-free assembled structures.
