Formation of constrained nanostructures from Co atoms embedded within a Cu(100) surface is investigated on the atomic scale by performing molecular-dynamics and kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations. The atomic processes responsible for the linear and angular chain formations are identified. We demonstrate the key role of substrate vacancies in the motion of embedded Co atoms and investigate the self-organization of Co atoms in different conditions.
