Abstract
A microscopic model based on the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model is propos ed to describe the missing-row reconstructions on the Rh(110) surface induced by oxygen. The phase diagram of the model at finite temperatur es has been calculated employing the Monte Carlo and cluster variation methods. We find overall agreement between our results and the experi mental data on the missing-row reconstruction for the O/Rh(110) surfac e as well as for other fee (110) surfaces covered by atoms adsorbed in the threefold fee hollow sites.
