Adsorption, absorption, versus crystal growth

“…Young modulus are easily available and they can serve as a "substitute" of surface energy estimation in a next neighbours approximation. 38 On MgO the less "cohesive" metals e.g. Ag obey (b).…”

“…Along the free surface B, |X| > 0, that means outside the contact, the deformation has the opposite sign than underneath the contact and goes rapidly to zero at a distance from the border equal to ∼l. 38 Liquid metals surface energies are measurable even clean ones. Ionic crystal surface energies can correctly be calculated since a long time (Born).…”
