摘要：

A combination of first-principles calculations based on density-functional theory, pseudopotentials, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements is used in order to study Au segregation in Cu3Au(111) surfaces. Our theoretical results suggest Au compositions from 50% to 75% in the topmost layer, depending on the chemical potentials of the atomic species. This strong Au segregation is restricted to the topmost surface plane and it is supported by the XPS measurements in a semiquantitative manner.
