Universal Binding Energy Curves for Metals and Bimetallic Interfaces
Abstract
We provide evidence for a universal relationship between metallic binding energies and lattice parameters. By a simple scaling of a universal relationship, one can obtain binding energies as a function of atomic separation for bimetallic interfaces and bulk metals.
