The explosive features of highly cohesive materials growing over soft metal substrates can be suppressed, and layer by layer growth achieved, by controlling a slight alloying at the interface. By means of Monte Carlo and molecular dynamic simulations, applied to the Co/Cu(111) system, we have proved the stability reached by Co growing over an alloyed CoCu surface, and the factibility of using hyperthermal ions to tailor this alloying.
