Abstract
ABSTRACTThe influence of surface magnetization on the surface segregation in binary alloys with one magnetic component is studied. Based in a model in which the local magnetic moment on the ferromagnetic atoms is determined by the local environment, the internal energy is calculated within the mean field approximation. We applied the model to dilute CuNi alloys and we find that magnetism favors the segregation of Ni, contrary to what it is found in the paramagnetic phase.
