Abstract: | Core level binding energy shifts of the Ni-2p and Au-4? lines have been measured for Ni on Au and Au on Ni overlayers down to mean coverages of less than 0.1 monolayers. When normalized to the maximum shift at submonolayer coverage the Ni on Au and Au on Ni shifts show the same dependence as function of the monolayer coverage. Using the thermodynamical approach for the calculation of binding energy shifts in metals, recently developed by Mårtensson and Johansson, the submonolayer shifts together with experimental results of core level binding energy shifts in dilute NiAu and AuNi alloys are used to calculate surface segregation energies in these alloys. They are compared with semiempirical determinations of these energies by Seah. |
