As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

This review presents an overview of the theory and of various successful approaches to the
interpretation of core-level binding-energy shifts observed in photoelectron spectroscopy …

Physics at Surfaces is a unique graduate-level introduction to the physics and chemical
physics of solid surfaces, and atoms and molecules that interact with solid surfaces. A …

Local-density-functional calculations are used to study the change of work functions induced
by a layer of adsorbates. We investigated and compared the work function of a monolayer of …

In this paper, a systematic derivation of the tunneling matrix elements in three-dimensional
space is presented. Based on a modified Bardeen tunneling theory, explicit expressions for …

In scattering an atom or ion beam from a metal surface the reflected particles are usually
found in various charge states or excited states of the species. Charge exchange to or from …

The study of coadsorption of alkali metals and simple molecules on transition metal surfaces
has been a favored topic of research ever since the pioneering work by Langmuir in 1923 …

Tremendous advances in experimental studies of chemisorption revealed that many
phenomena could not be understood and projected by the current theoretical constructs. We …

The study of the adsorption and the coadsorption of alkali metals on single-crystal metal
surfaces is a very active sub-field of surface science, partly because of the importance of …

It has been recognized since 1964 that shifts in the binding energies of core electrons
detected by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), are very sensitive …
