Abstract
Structure and effective dipoles of small water clusters on Ru(001) were determined using MD simulations. A possible explanation for the relative stability of tetramers at low coverages was determined by analyzing the energies of the different cluster sizes obtained from the MD simulations. High abundance and stability of tetramers was obtained directly from the MD simulations of the water clusters at an effective coverage of 3%. Fast diffusion of dimers measured by STM was reproduced in the simulations.
