“…Depending on factors like, for example, temperature, thickness, substrate material, and symmetry, Mn could intermix with the substrate atoms and form ordered or disordered alloys . In some cases, alloys are only limited to the surface, such as Mn on Cu(100), Cu(110), Co(001), Ni(100), and Ni(110), while some alloys involve a few atomic layers, as in Mn/Ag(001) . In other cases, like Mn on Fe(100) and Fe(110), no alloy is formed and only a pure Mn adlayer is found.…”
