Abstract
The new approach for the calculation of surface composition profiles o f binary alloys (MTCIP-2A: Modern Thermodynamic Calculation of Interfa ce Properties - Second Approximation), applied so far for low-index su rfaces of PtNi, PtCo and PtRh, is further improved and applied for PtC o, leading to a better overall agreement with the experimental data, e specially in the previously problematic case of Pt25Co75(111). For tha t, the Gibbsian thermodynamic conditions for critical states and other changes, such as the calculation of surface free energies (used here when improving the description of lattice distortion release), have be en included.
