Highly stepped metal surfaces can define intrinsically chiral structures and these chiral surfaces can potentially be used to separate chiral molecules. The decoration of steps on these surfaces with additional metal atoms is one potential avenue for improving the enantiospecificity of these surfaces. For a successful step decoration, the additional metal atoms should ideally remain at the kinked step sites on the surface. We performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to identify pairs of metal adatoms and metal surfaces where this kind of step decoration could be thermodynamically stable. These calculations have identified multiple stable examples of step decoration. Using our DFT results, we developed a model to predict surface segregation on a wide range of stepped metal surfaces. With this model, we have estimated the stability of step decoration without further DFT calculations for surface segregation for all combinations of the 3d, 4d, and 5d metals.
