Vm. Yakovlev et al., On the possibility of quantitative description of surface energies of solid metals by their properties, COLL J, 61(5), 1999, pp. 655-658
Calculation scheme allowing approximation of the surface energy of polycrys
talline metals was elaborated based on the modified Stefan relation. The ap
proach proposed takes into account both thermophysical and electronic prope
rties of single substances. Examples of the application of the proposed met
hod to some Ia and IIa metals are reported.
