The fcc metal Rhodium is treated as having both positive and negative Cauchy’s discrepancy and the three low-index surfaces of the metal calculated using the generalized embedded-atom method (GEAM), a model developed by [1]. The low-index surface energies investigated are {, and }. The predicted values are in good agreement with the experimental values. The result shows having the lowest and having the highest energy value.
