Abstract
A combination of numerical and analytical methods is employed to study a one-dimensional chain of identical atoms with adsorbates. We show that the electron-mediated interaction energy between two impurities can change sign and magnitude depending on the adatom-adatom separation, as well as the system doping. By focusing on this simple system, we provide insight into the bulk-mediated interaction for more complex materials.
