Using Auger electron spectroscopy and the linear temperature ramping technique, the bulk‐to‐surface segregation kinetics of Cu(111)(0.08 at.%)Sb and Cu(110)(0.08 at.%)Sb were measured. From these kinetic measurements the pre‐exponential factor ( D 0 ) and the activation energy ( Q ) were determined and it was clear that the activation energy ( Q (111) ) for the Cu(111) crystal was 18% higher than the activation energy ( Q (110) ) for the Cu(110) crystal. These differences in the activation energies are explained in terms of the vacancy formation energy and its dependency on the surface energy. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
