abstract = {We performed density-functional theory calculations,
employing the all-electron full-potential linearized
augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) method, for the multilayer
relaxations of the vicinal, high-Miller-index Cu(210),
Cu(211), and Cu(331) surfaces, as well as for the flat,
low-Miller-index Cu(100), Cu(110), and Cu(111) surfaces.
Generally, it is expected that the interlayer
relaxation-sequence at stepped metal surfaces with n surface
atom rows in the terraces exposed to the vacuum show n-1
contractions (indicated by -) followed by one expansion
(indicated by +). However, recent studies based on
low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) intensity analysis
and all-electron FLAPW calculations suggested that the
multilayer relaxation-sequence of the stepped Cu(331)
surface, for which n=3, behaves anomalously, i.e., -++.,
instead of the expected --+.. From the results presented in
this work, we did not find any indication of such anomalous
behavior for Cu(331) or for any of the investigated stepped
Cu surfaces. For the flat surfaces we obtained the expected
contraction of the topmost interlayer distance. In the
particular case of the Cu(110) surface, a pronounced
alternating oscillatory behavior extending over six
interlayer distances was found, i.e., -+-+-+. For all
studied Cu surfaces in the present work, we found a good
quantitative agreement between our interlayer relaxations
and those obtained by LEED intensity analysis.},
