Abstract
The reversible segregation of carbon to the (100) surface of nickel has been observed. The surface was studied at temperature through measurements of work function changes and observations of LEED patterns and Auger spectra. The work function increases with temperature by about 0.63 eV in the temperature range 500°–800°K. This difference is close to that obtained from reported values of the work function for Ni (100) and for carbon. Below about 650°K the diffraction pattern contains rings characteristic of a graphite layer with its basal plane parallel to the substrate. In contrast with previous LEED observations of graphite precipitation at single‐crystal surfaces, the segregation described here is reversible under temperature cycling.

Carbon Deposition in Steam Reforming and Methanation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the causes of deactivation of supported metal catalysts by carbon or coke formation, and found that deactivation can occur due to fouling of the metal surface, blockage of catalysts pores and voids, and actual physical disintegration of the catalyst support.

Equilibrium segregation of carbon to a nickel (111) surface: A surface phase transition

TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed the first equilibrium surface phase transition for carbon-doped nickel single crystals, which they attributed to the stronger binding of carbon to this monolayer phase than to bulk graphite.

Free Energy of a Nonuniform System. I. Interfacial Free Energy

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the thickness of the interface increases with increasing temperature and becomes infinite at the critical temperature Tc, and that at a temperature T just below Tc the interfacial free energy σ is proportional to (T c −T) 3 2.

Structure of Metals

TL;DR: The first serious application of the microscope to the study of metallic structure was made in 1864 by Dr. H. Sorby, of Sheffield, but the lead then given was not followed for nearly a quarter of a century as mentioned in this paper.

A new method of measuring contact potential differences in metals

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for measuring the contact potential differences between dissimilar metals is described, which enables one to measure the p.d. to 1/1000 volt in a few seconds of manipulation.
