Abstract

Analytical form for the functions describing atomic distribution of the components in the subsurface layer of a ternary alloy has been found in a closed form in the self-consistent field approximation, without taking correlation into account. The functions obtained allow one to construct concentration profiles of the components near the surface, to calculate the component surface concentration, and to investigate the dependence of the composition on the surface of the alloy crystal on temperature, and surface relaxation of coordination numbers and energies of the nearest neighbor interatomic interaction in an alloy. An analysis of the character of temperature dependencies of the composition on the surface has been performed for various alloys.
