    • Percolation as mathematically defined (finite probability of an infinite path) cannot be tested in our system. Instead, we use an operational definition—95% of islands of a given height must be interconnected on a representative 25times25-nm2 area before they are considered percolated.

    • (b) 0.7 ML. Note the minute amount of second-layer nuclei. .IE .IS FIG. 2. STM images of (a) 3.4 ML and (b) 4.5 ML Ni/Cu(100) films. At 3.4 ML, the third layer is almost completed with hardly any fifth-layer nuclei forming. At 4.5 ML, the fourth layer is slightly less completed than the third one at 3.4 ML, with a few sixth-layer nuclei appearing on the surface. Note that at 3.4 ML only a few island edges are in the [011] and [01 bar1] directions, which is more pronounced at 4.5 ML. .IE .IS FIG. 3. STM images of (a) 5.6-ML and (b) 7.1-ML Ni/Cu(100) films. At 5.6 ML, the fifth layer is at 95% closed, with a considerable amount of seventh-layer islands (9% of the whole area) present. At 7.1 ML, the layer filling of the sixth (darkest), seventh (second darkest), eighth (second brightest), and ninth (brightest) layers are 97%, 76%, 34%, and 3%, respectively. .IE .IS FIG. 4. STM images of (a) 16.9-ML and (b) 20.3-ML Ni/Cu(100) films. The 3D rectangular islands at these coverages are higher than those at lower coverages. Marked line profiles are shown in both images, indicating that the 3D islands are about 1 nm high in both films. .IE
