Abstract

Behaviour of electrons on a sinusoidally corrugated surface is investigated as a function of height U0 and wavevector K, using molecular dynamics. The internal energy, interaction energy and diffusion constant are found to be periodic functions of K with absolute minimum values in the lock-in phase, K=2, when U0=kBT; the system is nearly isotropic at K=1. Results for other values of U0 and K are also presented.
