The work function of the elements and its periodicity
TLDR
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.Abstract:
A new compilation, based on a literature search for the period 1969–1976, is made of experimental data on the work function. For these 44 elements, preferred values are selected on the basis of valid experimental conditions. Older values, which are widely accepted, are given for 19 other elements on which there is no recent literature, and are so identified. 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. Several illustrative examples are given, including verifications of predictions published in 1950.read more

Enhanced thermoelectric properties of Cu1.8S via introducing Bi2S3 and Bi2S3@Bi core-shell nanorods
TL;DR: In this paper, a core-shell structural nanorod was synthesized by a hydrothermal method using Bi2S3 nanorods as the template, and the effects of adding Bi 2S3 on the thermoelectric properties of Cu1.8S were investigated in detail at the temperature between 323 and 723 K.

Electrode oxygen-affinity influence on voltage nonlinearities in high-k metal-insulator-metal capacitors
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the oxygen affinity of the metal electrodes used in high-k metal-insulator-metal capacitors was highlighted, and it was shown that the magnitude of the quadratic coefficient of nonlinearity is better explained by the electrode oxygen-affinity rather than by its work function.

Control of Schottky and ohmic interfaces by unpinning Fermi level
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to control Schottky barrier heights of metal/semiconductor interfaces by controlling the density of interface electronic states and the number of charges in the states.

Work function measurements on (100) and (110) surfaces of silver
A. W. Dweydari,C. H. B. Mee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the work functions of the bulk crystals and of silver films formed upon them by auto-epitaxy were determined photoelectrically, and the results support the Smoluchowski correlation of work function with surface atom density.

Work Functions of the Elements
TL;DR: The work function φ is a periodic function of atomic number, as shown clearly by a new compilation of published data for 57 elements as mentioned in this paper, and the progressive rise and fall of work function values throughout the table of the elements appears to be sufficiently regular to permit approximations to be made of values for the metallic and semimetallic elements on which no data has yet been published.

Anisotropic work function of clean and smooth low-index faces of aluminium
TL;DR: In this paper, the anisotropic work function of smooth (100), smooth (111), and (110) faces of a single crystal were cleaned through a mild cyclic treatment of ion bombardment and annealing.
