Bonding and Energetics
Abstract Even though the surface of a crystal may appear very smooth at first glance, experimental evidence shows that it is heterogeneous on a microscopic scale. On this length scale the thermodynamic treatment of surfaces in the previous chapter is no longer sufficient and, hence, must be refined by microscopic considerations. However, such studies on an atomic scale have to consider the bonding between atoms in the surface layer and of surface atoms with atoms beneath in a bulk-like environment. The bonding behavior is governed by the valence electrons, usually s and p electrons of the outermost electronic shells. In the case of metals, e.g., transition metals, but also compound semiconductors, such as GaN, semicore d electrons have also to be studied.
