12. We assume the surface alloy is random because no change in the (1x1) pattern is observed. This result is in agreement with recent investigations of the low-coverage regime by the group of Wuttig, who report no ordered superstructures for coverages below 0.3 ML.

14. Our calculations were performed using EMT codes devised by Stoltze. The computational method is described in: P. Stoltze, J. Phys. Condens. Matter 6 (1994) 9495.
15. All of the simulations were performed using a (10x10) slab supercell consisting of five layers, two of which were held fixed at the EMT-derived bulk spacing. A [110] step was created at this surface by placing 0.5 ML of Cu adatoms in the appropriate geometry above the slab.
