Correction to: M. Yoshitake, Work Function and Band Alignment of Electrode Materials, NIMS Monographs, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-56898-8

The original version of the book was inadvertently published with the following errors. These errors have been updated now.

  1. 1.

    The copyright of all the chapters, which has now been updated and approved by the author as follows: National Institute for Materials Science, Japan 2021.

  2. 2.

    The equations 2.6, 2.7 and table 2.1 were incorrect in the original version of chapter 2. The correct version is given below:

    • Correct Equations

      • 2.6 => \( F = \frac{{e^{2} }}{{4\pi \varepsilon_{0} }} \cdot \frac{1}{{(2r)^{2} }} = \frac{{e^{2} }}{{16\pi \varepsilon_{0} }} \cdot \frac{1}{{r^{2} }}\)

      • 2.7 => \( \mathop \smallint \limits_{z}^{\infty } \frac{{e^{2} }}{{16\pi \varepsilon_{0} }} \cdot \frac{1}{{r^{2} }}dr = 3.603 \cdot 10^{ - 10} \cdot \frac{1}{z}\quad \left[ {eV} \right]\)

  • Correct Table 2.1
