This article is published with open access at Abstract Using the energy minimization calculations based on an interfacial potential and a first-principles total energy method respectively we show that 2 X 2 3 X 3 Pb Cu 111 system is a stable structure among all the n - 1 X n - 1 n X n Pb Cu 111 n 2 3 . 12 structures. The electronic structure calculations indicate that self-organized ordered Pb semi-clusters arrays are formed on the first Pb monolayer of 2 X 2 3 X 3 Pb Cu 111 which is due to a strain-release effect induced by the inherent misfits. The Pb semi-clusters structure can generate selective adsorption of atoms of semiconductor materials . Ge around the semi-clusters therefore can be used as a template for the growth of nanoscale structures with a very short periodic length A .
