Abstract:
We report a new type of short-range order correlations at the (001) surface of Cu3Au which no longer produces the 2k(F)-splitting characteristic for the bulk short-range order scattering. We present the temperature dependence of this phenomenon and a theoretical interpretation of its origin. We argue that this new surface effect is caused by a drastic change of the strain-induced interactions at the surface.
