Abstract

We study the kinetics of formation and dissolution of surface alloy obtained by depositing one monolayer of Pd on Cu(111) at room temperature. This is performed within the kinetic tight-binding Ising model. We also present the equilibrium segregation isotherm for Pd c Cu 1-c(111) and show the relation between kinetics (surface alloy) and equilibrium (alloy surface) via the local equilibrium concept.
