Annotation

The effect of quantum confinement formed by Ag nanoclusters on the self-organization of Cs adatoms on Ag(111) was studied. The existence of allowed and forbidden zones was found for the diffusion motion of Cs adatoms near and on top of the clusters. The formation of the orbits of an adatom’s motion was demonstrated for self-organization process in a Cs adatom ensemble near and on top of the clusters.
