Abstract

The knowledge of the surface free energiesγ oi of solid chemical elements is necessary in many practically important subjects. The description of the quantitiesγ oi (more correctly termed as the surface free enthalpies) is a part of a new “complex calculation of surface segregation” (CCSS) method, proposed by the authors. Here the applicability of a “standard table” of the values ofγ o i , obtained in that part of CCSS is shown by comparing the calculated values ofγ o i with several recently published experimental results.
