Correlation in calculations of density of states in thin films

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The density of electronic states and its spatial distribution in thin films are considered including the electron correlations in the coherent phase approximation applied to the intra-atomic interaction. This new approach allows us to derive the line shape for electronic levels which is important from the point of view of the convergency for the density function in the case of systems with restricted dimensions. Detailed calculations are performed for 4s copper film functions with the fcc lattice and various crystallographic orientations of the surfaces.
