5. Surface energy of liquid alloys – Thermodynamic models
The surface energy of a metal A can be modified by a metallic solute B if this solute adsorbs onto the surface of A. If the surface is represented by an atomic monolayer, adsorption is quantified by the enrichment coefficientY B /X B , equal to the ratio between the molar fractions of B in the monolayer (Y B ) and inside the liquid (X B ) (with Y A +Y B = X A +X B = 1). This coefficient, along with the surface energy of the binary alloy AB, can be calculated using the regular solution model describing atomic interactions in the liquid...
