We studied the initial growth mode of Au on Ag(110) using first-principles total energy calculations. We found that a recently observed bilayer growth mode in this system is not energetically favorable and thus may not be an equilibrium process. The most favorable initial growth process up to 1 monolayer Au coverage is found to proceed via subsurface substitution, which is an interesting growth mode for a metal-on-metal system.
