Abstract

Abstract The surface order-disorder transition has been studied for the BCC(110) surface of a binary alloy by use of the Bragg-Williams approximation. In the case with a large surface segregation energy, we have found a re-entrant surface order-disorder transition above the transition temperature of the bulk crystal. The origin of this transition can be understood by considering the variation of the surface concentration with temperature.
