The work function of the elements and its periodicity
TL;DR: In the data for the 63 elements, trends that occur simultaneously in both the columns and the rows of the periodic table are shown to be useful in predicting correct values and also for identifying questionable data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface energies, work functions, and surface relaxations of low index metallic surfaces from first principles
TL;DR: In this article, the surface relaxations, surface energies, and work functions of low-index metallic surfaces using pseudopotential plane-wave density-functional calculations within the generalized gradient approximation were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Image potential states on metal surfaces: binding energies and wave functions
TL;DR: In this article, a pseudopotential analysis of both surface and image potential states on simple metal surfaces is presented, where the local density approximation (LDA) is used to describe the one-electron potential inside the film and in the surface region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of atomic chemisorption on simple metals
TL;DR: In this article, the atom-jellium model of chemisorption was used to study the properties of an atom bonded to the surface of a simple metal, including the electron-density distribution, the state density, the dipole moment, and the heat of adsorption.

Dicalcium nitride as a two-dimensional electride with an anionic electron layer
TL;DR: A layered-structure electride of dicalcium nitride, Ca2N, is reported, which possesses two-dimensionally confined anionic electrons whose concentration agrees well with that for the chemical formula of [Ca2N]+·e−.

Anisotropy of the Electronic Work Function of Metals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the picture of Wigner and Bardeen according to which the work function is a sum of a volume contribution and a contribution due to a double layer on the surface of the metal.

Optical Constants and Reflectance and Transmittance of Evaporated Aluminum in the Visible and Ultraviolet
Georg Hass,J. E. Waylonis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical constants and reflectance and transmittance of aluminum films with very fast evaporation were determined by Drude's polarimetric method from opaque films and by reflectance, transmittances and true thickness measurements of semitransparent films.

Photoelectric Work Function of a Copper Single Crystal for the (100), (110), (111), and (112) Faces
TL;DR: In this article, the Fowler method was used to measure the electron work function for four faces of a copper single crystal cleaned by repeated cycles of ion bombardment and annealing at 700 \ifmmode^\circ\else\text degree\fi{}C under ultrahigh vacuum conditions.

Work function measurements on (100), (110) and (111) surfaces of aluminium
R M Eastment,C H B Mee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, single crystal aluminium surfaces were prepared by auto-epitaxy on these substrates and the work functions of the surfaces were determined photoelectrically, showing a linear relationship between surface atom density and work function for the three faces investigated.

Preparation and properties of clean surfaces of aluminum
TL;DR: In this article, a low-energy electron diffraction study of clean {111, {100} and {110} surfaces of aluminum and their reaction with oxygen was described, and the procedures followed in order to achieve the atomically clean state were: (i) argon ion bombardments and anneals, (ii) baking in atomic hydrogen and (iii) growth of epitaxial films in situ.
