Abstract A simple model based on the concept of a layered structure near the interface has been used to investigate the surface tension and surface segregation of SnPb and SnZn molten alloys. With increasing concentration of Sn, the surface tension (σ) of SnPb alloys has been found to increase, while a of SnZn alloys decreases, σ of both systems is smaller than the ideal value ΣCiσi. Our study reveals that both in SnPb and SnZn alloys the heavier atoms segregate towards the surface. The degree of segregation in SnZn alloys is greater than that in SnPb alloys. The Cahn-Hillard phenomenological model for the surface of pure liquids has been extended to binary molten mixtures and applied to the above systems. An attempt has been made to establish a link between the surface tension and the bulk properties such as concentration fluctuations in the long wavelength limit [Scc (0)] and isothermal compressibility (λT). The impact of the very sensitive bulk parameter Scc(0) has been examined. Reasonable agreement between our model and the experiment is observed for binary molten alloys such as SnPb in which the segregation is small, while for the SnZn alloys, in which the segregation is quite large, the agreement is not satisfactory.

In the present work we have considered the antimony-indium liquid alloy which shows anomaly as regards its heat of mixing and the concentration fluctuations in the long-wavelength limit. On the other hand, the free energy of mixing and the entropy of mixing are found to be symmetric about the equi-atomic composition. Such alloying behaviour has been tried to explain on the basis of conformal solution model. This is a statistical mechanical model based on the formation of complex within the liquid alloy. In this model besides the interaction between unlike atoms, that between each constituent element and the complex too is taken into account. In course of theoretical treatment the activity of antimony is also computed for different concentrations. Our results indicate that Sb-In alloys are thermodynamically most stable around the equi-atomic composition. Key words: Binary liquid alloy; Conformal solution model; Free energy of mixing; Activity; Heat of mixing; Entropy of mixing; Concentration fluctuations in the long-wavelength limit.
