The crystallographic anisotropy of the electric current or conductance, adhesive force, elastic modulus, and deformation magnitude of alpha brass were investigated through property mapping using an atomic force microscope. Surface electron work functions of differently oriented grains in the brass were also analyzed using atomic force microscopy. The mapped surface properties are closely related to the electron work function; the work function reflects the surface activity, which is itself dependent on the surface energy. The anisotropy of the properties is closely correlated to the in situ measured surface electron work function. It is demonstrated that crystallographic planes with higher electron work functions exhibit lower current, smaller adhesive forces, larger elastic moduli and smaller deformation magnitudes. Efforts are made to understand the relationships by connecting the properties with surface energy and electron work function. The dependence of the properties on crystallographic orientation can be elucidated by considering the surface electron behavior using electron work function as a novel probing parameter.

In the work of Shebzukhova and Arefieva, by the method of electronic-statistical calculation of the anisotropy of the surface energy of metals, a method for estimating the work function of electrons from a metal was determined. The surface energy and electron work function of four main faces of cadmium and zinc crystals and five faces of mercury are estimated. In the work of Bokarev, the anisotropy of the surface energy of single crystals was calculated from the model of coordination melting of crystals. Based on experimental studies and theoretical calculations, it is shown that the model of coordination melting of crystals unambiguously links the physicochemical properties of the surface of single crystals with their crystal structure. In our proposed empirical model, not only the anisotropy is calculated, but also the thickness of the surface layer of the metal. It is shown that the thickness of the surface layer is determined by one fundamental parameter - the molar (atomic) volume, which periodically changes in accordance with the table of D.I. Mendeleev. It is shown in the work that the work function of electrons changes proportionally with a change in the surface energy of the metal. This means that the device we have developed can be used to measure the state of the metal surface and its anisotropy.

AbstractOn the basis of electron-statistical method of calculation of the surface energy of metals, a technique for estimating the electron work function of hexagonal and rhombohedral metallic crystals has been developed. This technique relates surface energy to work function and can thus be applied to estimate the surface energy of crystal faces from experimental data for a work function. Computations have been made for cadmium, zinc, and mercury macrocrystals. The temperature and orientation dependences of both quantities have been constructed. Our results are in good agreement with literature experimental data.

In this work, it is shown that the model of coordination crystal melting makes it possible to calculate the values of the specific surface energy of elementary substances and the surface melting temperature of metals, and also relates the anisotropy of the specific surface energy of a crystal with its crystal structure, electron work function, and adhesion work.
