Abstract. A brief review of the physics of the surface layer of atomically smooth crystals is given. It already contains a fairly large number of practical applications in various fields of interdisciplinary areas. It has been shown that the thickness of the surface layer is determined by one fundamental parameter – the atomic volume of the crystal.

Keywords: surface layer, nanostructure, surface energy, atomic volume, size effect.
