Abstract
The interaction of rare gas atoms with metal surfaces is considerably modified in the presence of occupied Shockley surface states. The anom alous bond strength of Xe on Pd, the decoration of upper step edges on Pt(lll), and the different Xe-Xe interaction on Pd and Pt is al least partially accounted for by the influence of surface states. Arguments are provided that surface states also contribute to the anticorrugati ng effects observed in He scattering on Ni(110) and Cu(110).
