A method is developed for calculating single electron wave functions in a semi-infinite metal. The effect of the lattice periodicity is explicitly taken into account so that the solution in the far interior is consistent with the band structure of the infinite crystal. The solution is sufficiently general to include surface states. The single electron potentials are reconsidered and some new features are discussed. These include the elimination of the singular zero-order Fourier terms of the ion-electron and Hartree potentials which leads to the surface dipole barrier. Also a simple formula is derived for the exchange potential in the zero-order approximation which allows to calculate the exchange potential for wave vectors which have components of velocity parallel to the surface. The method is finally applied to a semi-infinite sodium crystal with a (001) orientation. 2015-01-27T10:06:06Z 2015-01-27T10:06:06Z 1976 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12330 eng application/pdf Department of Physics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
