Volume 89, Issue 22

Plot of the potential energy of a Mn atom in the vicinity of a GaAs surface (As atoms shown in light gray, Ga atoms in dark gray). Typical Mn adsorption pathways are shown as heavy curves (the primary adsorption channels to stable sites above and below the As dimer) and light curves (secondary channels leading to a 'cave' site).
