Nonuniform distributions in a monoatomic layer under conditions of deposition from the outside

Abstract

Peculiarities of atom sedimentation onto the surface are theoretically explored. It is assumed that sedimentation conditions provide formation of only one layer. Main prominence is given to the peculiarities of microdistributions in monolayer and their influence on surface properties. Possibility of meso- and macroinhomogeneities realization within monatomic film under homogeneous external influence is analyzed. Conditions of inhomogeneities occurrence are revealed. It is shown that the variation of the intensity of external influence and temperature is accompanied by a qualitative rearrangement of the surface monolayer.
