Abstract

The local frequency distribution functions of the surface layers of a semi-infinite simple cubic crystal with randomly adsorbed impurities have been calculated for the (001) surface. A method based on the coherent potential approximation was used. The results are displayed for various concentrations and masses of adsorbed impurities.
