Description:
Author(s): Kirk H. Bevan, Wenguang Zhu, G. Malcolm Stocks, Hong Guo, and Zhenyu Zhang Utilizing first-principles quantum transport calculations, we investigate the role of local fields in conductor surface electromigration. A nanometer-thick Ag(100) thin film is adopted as our prototypical conductor, where we demonstrate the existence of intense local electric fields at atomic surfac... [Phys. Rev.
