Electronic Structure of Surfaces

  • Chapter
Surface Science

Part of the book series: Advanced Texts in Physics ((ADTP))

Abstract

By breaking the 3D periodicity of the crystal bulk, a surface modifies strongly the electronic structure in its vicinity. Additional modification is introduced by surface reconstruction. The modification concerns the charge density redistribution in the near-surface region and the formation of specific electronic states, called surface states. The electronic structure manifests itself in the surface properties, like the surface conductivity and work function.
