Abstract: The dependence of the density of the Co and Fe clusters on the Cu(100) surface on the substrate temperature and the deposition flux of the atoms has been studied by the molecular dynamics method and the kinetic Monte Carlo method. It has been shown that burrowing the impurity atoms into the first substrate layer can considerably increase the density of nanoclusters. The influence of burrowing the atoms on the size distribution of nanoclusters has been investigated.
