Abstract

We report ground-state calculations and Monte Carlo simulations for a lattice-gas model of the underpotential deposition of copper on Au(111) in sulfate-containing electrolytes. In a potential range of approximately 100~150 mV, this system exhibits a

$$\left( {\sqrt {3} {\mkern 1mu} \times {\mkern 1mu} \sqrt {3} } \right)$$

mixed phase with 2/3 monolayer (ML) copper and 1/3 ML sulfate. Our simulation results agree well with experimental results and with other theoretical work.
