At low Sn coverage only threefold sites are stable, FCC site being the most favored. At half monolayer coverage of adsorbed Sn a surface bimetallic can be produced. At full monolayer coverage degeneracy is produced for the four sites of Sn adsorption. For high coverage the Sn-Sn interaction is predominant to the Sn adsorption energy. An electron charge drift is produced from Sn to Au, decreasing for high Sn coverage.
