Entropy-driven surface segregation of Pt in PtRh alloys

Abstract
Pt segregation to the surface of PtRh alloys, as reported by several authors, cannot be explained by segregation models based on the enthalpy of segregation alone. However, a model, which includes the influence of lattice vibrational entropy, predicts the surface composition of PtRh alloys correctly over the complete concentration range.
