52. To describe the adsorption of graphite on Co and Ni within model I we use two empty spheres with a Wigner-Seitz sphere radius r=1.12 a.u. at B and C sites, positioned 1.57 a.u. above the metal surface. For model II we use one empty sphere with a Wigner-Seitz sphere radius r=1.7 a.u. at a C site, at 2.42 a.u. above the surface. If the distance between graphite and the metal surface is larger, which is the case for graphite on Cu, we use three empty spheres with Wigner-Seitz sphere radius r=1.6 a.u., at A, B, and C sites, respectively, 3.33 a.u. above the surface.
