Segregation energy

Here, we will first briefly recall the principles of this method in the case of transition metals. Then we will apply it to two illustrative examples the surface segregation energy of an impurity is a pure host and the growth of adislands on FCC(lll) surfaces of the same chemical species. [Pg.372]

We will limit ourselves to the surface segregation energy of an impurity of atomic number Z + 1 in a BCC matrix of atomic number Z and study the variation of this energy as a function of the number Nj of d electrons per atom in the d band of e transition metal Z. [Pg.376]

This case is particularly interesting since the surface segregation energy can be directly compared to surface core level binding energy shifts (SCLS) measurements. Indeed, if we assume that the excited atom (i. e., with a core hole) is fully screened and can be considered as a (Z + 1) impurity (equivalent core approximation), then the SCLS is equal to the surface segregation energy of a (Z + 1) atom in a Z matrixi. in this approximation the SCLS is the same for all the core states of an atom. [Pg.376]

In the case of W(H0) (Nd=4.4eVatom), we have also calculated the modification of the surface segregation energy of a Re impurity when a p(2 x 1) overlayer of oxygen is present at the surface (Eig. 3). Then, there are two geometrically inequivalent atomic rows, labelled a and b, of W atoms on the surface (and in the sublayers). However, the modification of their effective atomic levels relative to the bulk is vanishingly small beyond the second... [Pg.377]

Pt skin catalysts are prepared by high-temperature annealing and are therefore expected to be thermodynamically stable structures Thermochemical studies of the metal segregation energies of various metal alloys [114] suggest that Pt-rich alloys prefer to segregate Pt atoms to the surface and form Pt skins. [Pg.434]

Figure 9. Pt/Pd (shell/core) system of increasing thickness, where we examine the tendency of Pd atoms to segregate from the core to the surface. In the absence of oxygen, we observe small anti-segregation of Pd atoms from the core (positive energy values) and the tendency to form alloy in subsurface layers, as shown by the negative values of segregation energies to move a Pd atom (blue) from the core to the subsurface layers. Gray spheres are Pt atoms, blue spheres are Pd atoms. Figure 9. Pt/Pd (shell/core) system of increasing thickness, where we examine the tendency of Pd atoms to segregate from the core to the surface.

Tlic results also suggest that substitutional formation is most favorable on the (110) surface. This supports the view that the (110) surface will be more catalytically active than the (111) surface, as impurities segregate preferentially to this surface. Sayle et al. note that the segregation energies (i.e. the differences between bulk and surface energies) are larger for the Af cations than for cations due to elec-... [Pg.292]

Another distinctive feature of the surface energy curve is its slope. In fact the slope of is simply the segregation energy of the deposited... [Pg.10]

If the segregation energy is negative, as in the case of Ag on Pt(Ill), the deposited element stays at the surface. If the segregation energy is positive, as in the case of Pt on Cu(l 11) and Ru on Au(l 11), the deposited element should go into the deeper layers of the surface region (if the transfer of deposited element into the bulk is kinetically hindered). Usually, the deposited element... [Pg.10]

GENERAL TRENDS FOR SURFACE SEGREGATION ENERGIES IN TRANSITION METAL ALLOYS... [Pg.13]

In most cases the experimental techniques used to study surface phenomena do not seem to yield consistent values for the surface segregation energies. One important exception is the special case of an atom of atomic number Z+1 in a host of atoms of atomic number Z, where the surface segregation energy may in fact be extracted with a high degree of accuracy from X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) measurements of surface core-level shifts (SCLS) [39]. In contrast they may be calculated quite accurately by modern first-principles methods [18,25,40]. [Pg.13]
