Abstract
The energies and lifetimes of the image potential resonances at the Ȳ point on the Cu(110), Ag(110), and Au(110) surfaces are studied, and the energies of the image potential states on the Pd(110) surface are analyzed. It is shown that every quantum number n corresponds to a pair of image potential states (resonances) n + and n − at the Ȳ point. The average energy of a pair of eigenstates (resonances) at n ≥ 2 is well described by the formula Ē n = (E n+ + E n−) = E 0 − (0.85 eV)/(n + δ)2, where δ is the quantum defect, E 0 = (1/2m e )(ħπ/a)2, and a is the lattice parameter. The splitting energy of a pair of eigenstates (resonances) obeys the law ΔE n = E n+ — E n− ∝ n −3. The lifetimes τ n± of image potential resonances are proportional to n 3.
