A two-dimensional Blume-Emery-Griffiths spin-1 model with spin-phonon interaction is introduced to investigate the thermodynamic properties of Prussian Blue Analogs and Spin-crossover materials. The quadrupolar interaction parameter is assumed to depend on the temperature in the form K = α k <Subscript>...</subscript>

The growth modes of the Ag(110) surface are studied near room temperature by means of Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. For the elementary diffusion processes, we use energy barriers determined by quenched molecular dynamics simulations where silver has been modeled by many-body potentials....
