Comment on "Long-Range Spatial Self-Organization in the Adsorbate Induced Restructuring of Surfaces: Cu(110)-(2x1)O"

Abstract

In a recent letter, Kern et al. reported that anisotropic Cu-0 islands form striped periodic supergratings on the Cu ?110 surface. Kern et al. attribute the formation of these striped phases to long-range repulsive forces between stripes. We have shown using Monte Carlo simulations and a 1-D Ising model that short range adsorbate-adsorbate interactions are capable of producing striped phases.
