Abstract

The relevance and strength of nonlocal adatom-adatom interactions and their importance for nucleation is critically discussed. Focusing on homoepitaxial growth on Al(111), the analysis indicates that the strength of nonlocal adatom-adatom interactions is overestimated by ab initio calculations.
