摘要
By computing the surface energy at T=0 K, we test the relative stability of various among possible atomic configurations of low-index and (11n) surfaces in the L1(2) compound Cu3Au. The computations rely on two n-body phenomenological potentials and are performed using a classical energy minimization scheme. The energy of (100) and (110) surfaces is at a minimum for a mixed composition terminal layer, in agreement with available experimental results and previous calculations. For (113) and (115) surfaces the minimum energy is obtained when all (100) terraces are mixed. In this case, the height and width of steps and terraces are twice as large as those of a standard surface configuration.
