Surface segregation in liquid mixtures with strong interspecies attraction.
Simulations are carried out to investigate surface segregation in liquid mixtures with strong interspecies attraction. The simulations show that the majority species of particles segregates to the surface, even if the other species has the lower pure-component surface tension. This behavior is expected in metal-metalloid mixtures, such as Ni-P, and mixtures in which hydrogen bonds can form only between unlike species, such as acetone-chloroform.
