Abstract
Using first-principles calculations, in conjunction with modeling techniques, we show that the top layer of the Au(100) surface will transform to a close-packed structure while that of Ag(100) will not. Our calculations provide some insight into the microscopic origin of the difference in stability between 4d and 5d fcc metal (100) surfaces.Keywords
