Journal ArticleDOI
Deriving accurate work functions from thin-slab calculations
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique based on macroscopic averages was used to reduce the effect of quantum size on thin-slab calculations and determine more precisely the work functions of metals from ab initio thin-film calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Work-function anisotropy in noble metals: Contributions from d states and effects of the surface atomic structure
Journal ArticleDOI
Anomaly in the anisotropy of the aluminum work function
TL;DR: In this article, a macroscopic-averaging technique was used to examine the anisotropy of aluminum work function and showed that the aluminum work-function anomaly is due to the increased $p$-atomic-like character of the density of states at the Fermi energy, as compared to most other fcc metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Work functions at facet edges.
TL;DR: By modeling the electronic dipoles at the metal surface, it is shown how nonvanishing surface charges spontaneously appear on metals with inequivalent facets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical maps of work-function anisotropies
TL;DR: It is shown how the work function of any stepped surface can be accurately predicted by interpolating between the work functions of a small number of low-index facets using a set of physically motivated symmetry-adapted basis functions.
