As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

Infrared spectroscopy has become a useful tool to investigate surfaces. The theoretical and
experimental foundation of surface IR spectroscopy is described and selected examples are …

We have performed an ab initio study of the surface energy and the work function for six
close-packed surfaces of 40 elemental metals by means of a Green's-function technique …

The transfer matrix of a solid described by the stacking of principal layers is obtained by an
iterative procedure which takes into account 2" layers after n iterations, in contrast to usual …

The scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) was invented by Binnig and Rohrer and
received a Nobel Prize of Physics in 1986. Together with the atomic force microscope (AFM) …

Physics at Surfaces is a unique graduate-level introduction to the physics and chemical
physics of solid surfaces, and atoms and molecules that interact with solid surfaces. A …

The linearized-augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) method for thin films is generalized by
removing the remaining shape approximation to the potential inside the atomic spheres. A …

Surfaces and Interfaces of Solid Materials emphasises both experimental and theoretical
aspects of surface and interface physics. Beside the techniques of preparing well-defined …

When an electron with energy E p (in practice 10< E p< 500 eV) is incident on a solid
surface it may be scattered back into the vacuum either elastically or inelastically. Part of its …

The simplifications of band-structure calculations which are now referred to as linear
methods were introduced by Ole K. Andersen almost ten years ago. Since then these ideas …
