We report on an unusual mechanism of atomic-scale structures growth on fcc(110) metal surfaces, which is promoted by interface intermixing of deposited and substrate atoms. We investigate a self-assembly of 1D and 2D nanostructures during thermal deposition of 3d atoms on Pd(110) [1] and Cu(110) [2] surfaces at different temperatures. Diffusion barriers of basic atomic events are calculated by means of density functional theory. Incorporation of deposited 3d atoms into the topmost substrate layer is found to be energetically and kinetically feasible in the examined interval of temperatures (120-350 K). Kinetic Monte Carlo model for atomic self-organization demonstrates that surface nanostructures consist mainly of expelled substrate atoms, while deposited 3d magnetic atoms are embedded into the topmost surface layer [1, 2]. Recently our theoretical predictions have been confirmed by experiments [3]. Magnetic properties of novel nanostructures are also discussed.
