Abstract: This paper performs first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the interaction of H and B atoms with ordered Ni3Fe (111) surface. The results showed that the B atom can be strongly absorbed onto the surface, and absorption energies of B atoms are much lower than that of H atoms. It indicates that the B atom can be easily bound by the ordered Ni3Fe surface, which occupies the suitable site and inhibits the access of H into the matrix. Furthermore, electronic structure analysis is presented to understand that the adsorption energy of H atom higher than that of B atom is accrediting to its anti-bonding state being pushed up to the Fermi level when an H atom is absorbed on the (111) surface of the ordered  Ni3Fe
