Pj. Kundrotas et al., THEORETICAL-STUDY OF THE OXYGEN-INDUCED MISSING-ROW RECONSTRUCTION ONTHE RH(110) SURFACE, Surface science, 377(1-3), 1997, pp. 7-10
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.
