description

Many technologically relevant properties of metallic alloys are determined by the structure of their surfaces, especially in the field of catalysis and corrosion. One important aspect of a surface or grain boundaries is, that the stoichiometry of the alloy close to the surface normally differs from the bulk stoichiometry. Due to different interaction energies and different atom sizes of the components, one of them will get enriched at the surface, a phenomenon called surface segregation[1].
