Abstract

The ASED-MO theory and large cluster models are used to predict and analyze the formation energies for bulk vacancies in iron and S atom adsorption and dissolution energies in bulk substitutional sites. The driving force for surface segregation of S is shown to result from the vacancy formation energy and a strong S 3s-Fe valence band closed shell repulsion for dissolved sulfur.
