Abstract
The well-known model of a plasmaron was applied to describe the states of quantum charges on a metallic surface. A theory of a surface self-localized axial plasmaron was suggested. The theory considers the plasmaron as a structure that results from interactions between both axial plasmon and an electron adjacent to the inner side of a metal surface with an energy close to the Fermi level. The proposed model is very important for physicochemical and electrochemical applications, since it determines adequately the role of the attractor factor of a metal surface (a Fermi sea) determining the affinity of metal to quantum charge. It is suggested that the phenomena of self-localization of an electron (hole) by a plasmon attractor is behind the physics of chemisorption processes on metals and plays an important role in understanding the nature of electrochemical effects on metal electrodes.
