Diagrams of Surfaces

An ideal surface is a surface of a half-crystal in which the atoms are held in their original positions. The structure of an ideal surface is identical to that of a parallel crystallographic plane in the bulk. For a 2-D lattice, the elementary Bravais cell can have only one of the five structures shown in Fig. 5.2-1. 

Atoms in the surface layer are labeled by O, A, B, C,. ... Atoms in the first, second, third, etc. sublayer are labeled by 1, 2, 3. When two classes of atoms are present (for example in diamond-like stmctures), the atoms of the second class are indicated by primed symbols. In such a case, the division of an ideal crystal by a geometrical plane may expose different types of surfaces. A well-known example is the (111) face of NaCl-type crystals, which may be either anion- or cation-terminated. 

A parameter S, 0 S 1, is introduced to specify the distance from the dividing plane to the nearest plane through lattice points. 

Coordinates are referred either to crystal axes (Oxyz) or to a system O A7Z, in which A7 are axes in the surface plane X is parallel to a side of the 2-D Bravais cell and Z is perpendicular to the surface. 

Coordinates are always given in terms of a/2, a being the lattice parameter.

The h-pH diagrams of surface oxidation of arsenopyrite and pyrite are shown in Fig. 2.16 and Fig. 2.17, respectively. Figure 2.16 shows that jBh-pH area of self-induced collectorless flotation of arsenopyrite is close to the area forming sulphur. The reactions producing elemental sulphur determine the lower limit potential of flotation. The reactions producing thiosulphate and other hydrophilic species define the upper limit of potential. In acid solutions arsenopyrite demonstrates wider potential region for collectorless flotation, but almost non-floatable in alkaline environment. It suggests that the hydrophobic entity is metastable elemental sulphur. However, in alkaline solutions, the presence of... 

The spontaneous development of the macroscopic topographic features in spin-coated samples, or in samples prepared by a gradient combinatorial approach [52,53], has been fruitfully used for the analysis of thickness-dependent morphological behavior by constructing phase diagrams of surface structures [43,49, 53, 54],...

In contrast to swollen homopolymer films, only a limited number of studies on thin films of block copolymers have been reported in which the degree of the film swelling has been directly accessed. In situ SE has been used to evaluate the polymer-solvent interaction parameters [144], to construct phase diagrams of surface structures [49, 51], and to control the mechanism of lamella reorientation in thick swollen films [118, 163, 164], Spectroscopic reflectometry combined with real-time GISAXS has been used to follow structural instabilities in swollen lamella films [165], Recently, it was demonstrated that swelling of diblock copolymer films in organic selective and non-selective solvents follows the same physical behavior as in thin films of homopolymers [119]. 

Fig. 13 Phase diagram of surface reconstructions of a A3B12A3 block copolymer film calculated with MESODYN for r A= 6.5. The boxes indicate where simulations have been done. The boxes with two shades of gray indicate that two phases coexist after the finite simulation time. Smooth phase boundaries have been drawn to guide the eye.

Figure 135 Phase diagram of surface water in fully hydrated systems (upper panel). Fragile to strong transition of the hydration water [243] and anomaly in thermophysical properties [108] that indicate a continuous transition from tetrahedrally ordered to orientationally disodered water [45] are shown by open and closed circles, respectively. The line of percolation transition of hydration water in the case of full hydration is shown schematically by solid lines based on the results of Ref [566]. Location of the percolation transitions in low-hydrated systems is shown schematically by dashed and dot-dashed lines (lower panel). Reprinted, with permission, from [612].
