Ab initio work function of elemental metals
We have used a recently developed self-consistent Green’s-function technique based on tight-binding linear-muffin-tin-orbital theory to calculate the work function for the close-packed surfaces of 37 elemental metals. The results agree with the limited experimental data obtained from single crystals to within 15%, and they explain the smooth behavior of the polycrystalline data as a function of atomic number.
