Prediction of Fermi Energies and Photoelectric Thresholds Based on Electronegativity Concepts
Abstract
A simple formula involving the geometric mean of the electronegativities of the two components is proposed for the determination of the Fermi energies and hence the photoelectric thresholds of simple binary compounds, and is found to be surprisingly accurate for all presently available data. A theoretical basis for the use of the "postulate of the geometric mean" is also given.

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.
