The Surface Structure, Deposition & Adsorption Calculator

INPUT:	Element
(the substrate)	Lattice Type
	Lattice constant a=	pm
	Surface orientation

STRUCTURE:	Nearest-neighbor dist. (bulk):	pm
	Nearest-neighbor dist. (surf.):	pm
	Interlayer distance:	pm
	Atoms (unit cells) per area:

DEPOSITION OF:	Element
(on the substrate	Density	kg/m³
entered above)	Atomic/molecular mass	amu

	1 ML ^* corresponds to:
	or:	pm ^**.
	If deposited on a	MHz crystal, ^***
	1 ML ^* causes	Hz frequency shift.

ADSORPTION OF:	Atom/Molecule
(on the substrate	Atomic/molecular mass	amu
entered above)	Dissociating into	fragment(s)
	Sticking coefficient
	Gas pressure	mbar
	Gas temperature	K

	1 ML ^* corresponds to	L (Langmuir; 1L = 10^-6 torr s)
	1 ML ^* needs	to adsorb.

* “Monolayer” (ML) refers to pseudomorphic monolayer, i.e., a layer with the same density of atoms (unit cells) per area as the substrate (irrespective of whether such a layer of the given atoms/molecules can exist or not).

*** Enter actual (current) frequency, not nominal frequency here. For standard (AT-cut) crystals; not for heavily pre-loaded crystals.
