ARXPS and DFT studies of thermally induced Pb surface segregation on Au/Cu alloys

Surface segregation of Pb has been studied using angle resolved X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (ARXPS) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) modelling in a polycrystalline Au0.85Cu0.15 alloy. Au surface enrichment was found in the alloy surface, whereas Pb surface enrichment was detected after annea...
