abstract = {Using first-principles calculations we studied the
energetics (surface energy, step energy, stability with
respect to faceting) of the low- and high-Miller-index
(vicinal) Cu surfaces, namely, the (111), (100), (110),
(311), (331), (210), (211), (511), (221), (711), (320),
(553), (410), (911), and (332) surfaces. Our calculations
are based on density-functional theory employing the
all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave
(FLAPW) method. We found that the unrelaxed vicinal Cu
surfaces between (100) and (111) are unstable relative to
faceting at 0 K, while fully relaxed vicinal surfaces
between (100) and (111) are stable relative to faceting,
which is in agreement with the observed stability of vicinal
Cu surfaces at room temperature. Thus atomic relaxations
play an important role in the stability of the vicinal Cu
surfaces. Using the surface energies of Cu(111), Cu(100),
and Cu(110) and employing the effective pair-potential
model, which takes into account only the changes in the
coordination of the surface atoms, the surface energies of
the vicinal Cu surfaces can be calculated with errors
smaller than $1.0\%$ compared with the calculated FLAPW
surface energies. This result is due to the almost perfect
linear scaling of the surface energies of the Cu(hkl)
surfaces as a function of the total number of broken
nearest-neighbor bonds. Furthermore, we calculate step-step
interactions as a function of terrace widths and step
energies of isolated steps.},
