You can see an example of tidal locking and atmosphere simulation for a planet closely orbiting a dim star. They show a simulation of the atmosphere and some interesting theories about the movement of gasses due to tidal locking (convection) that occurs between the bright and dark side of the planet. The link goes directly to the discussion of tidal locking:
KEPLER 186F - LIFE AFTER EARTH
A similar question was posted in the physics forum and it looks like that could be close to the answer you are looking for:
Tidal Lock Radius in Habitable Zones
I am also interested in tidal locking and hope someone may post a more concise answer.
