Abstract

Ab initio slab calculations are performed for the copper adhesion over magnesium ions on the perfect MgO(001) surface with 1/4 monolayer (ML), two types of 1/2 ML and 1 ML substrate coverages. Results of our calculations are compared with various experimental and theoretical data. Both small atomic polarization and charge redistribution give the dominant contributions to the physisorption bonding on a regular Cu/MgO(001) interface.
