abstract = "The role of metallic bonding in the crystallographic pitting of magnesium (Mg) has been investigated using atomistic simulations. To assess the degree of metallic bonding in Mg (0001) and (10{\=1}0) surfaces the modified embedded atom method (MEAM) has been used. The inter atomic potentials developed with MEAM were then used by a Monte Carlo MC code, standard Metropolis algorithm, to calculate atom removal probabilities. Simulations for the Mg (10{\=1}0) surface found that atom removal formed geometric surface structures, the orientation of which where always at a 58° or 116° angle with respect to the [12{\=1}0] direction or 90° with respect to [0001]. These results are identical to experimental results from Mg (10{\=1}0) single crystals. Simulations of Mg (0001) surfaces found no preferred orientations similar to experimental results. copyright The Electrochemical Society.",
