First principles calculations reveal that coherent Ag-Au interfaces are energetically favorable with negative interface energies, signifying an intermixing tendency of Ag and Au. Calculations also show that for each Ag-Au interface two overlayers are needed to get converged work function and the interface dipole is formed due to an unequal loss of electrons from Ag and Au atoms. Moreover, densities of states suggest that a stronger chemical bonding is formed in Ag-Au interface than corresponding Ag or Au bulks.
