Theory of Metal Surfaces: Work Function
Abstract
In a recent paper we presented a contribution to the theory of metal surfaces with emphasis on the shape of the electron-density distribution and the surface energy. The present paper extends this analysis to a consideration of the work function. Some general theoretical relationships are established. Effects of the ions are included using a simple pseudopotential theory, permitting the calculation of the variation of the work function from one crystal face to another. For simple metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Al, Pb, Zn, and Mg), agreement with available experimental data is good (5-10%); for the noble metals, the computed work functions are 15-30% too low.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
