Abstract
The surface electronic properties of a number of metals are calculated using jellium with pseudopotentials as a model; particular attention is paid to the optical second harmonic response due to currents induce d perpendicular to the metal surface. The structure of the surface is shown to have a pronounced effect on the properties investigated. The presence of a solution lowers the absolute magnitude of the second har monic response.
