We determine the initial growth mode of Co and Fe on Cu (001). In the monolayer range Co and Fe present a clear trend to form clusters on Cu (001). Supposing a perfect epitaxy and fee lattice, the magnetic moment distribution is determined by using a tight binding Hubbard-like Hamiltonian. The influence of the temperature is taken into account in order to compare the theoretical predictions with experimental results.
