L. Jurczyszyn et M. Steslicka, A NEW APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES OF IMAGE RESONANCES AT CLEAN AND NA-COVERED AL(001) SURFACES, Surface science, 376(1-3), 1997, pp. 424-428
An original one-dimensional semi-infinite approach with a realistic po
tential, obtained from first-principle slab calculations, is presented
and applied to study image resonances at clean Al(001) and Al(001)+Na
(2x2) surfaces. The obtained results, being in reasonable agreement wi
th experimental data, are compared with those of Silkin and Chulkov [P
hys. Solid State 36 (1994) 404]. The presence of the ''thin film'' sta
te, incorrectly considered by Silkin and Chulkov as the (n=0) image st
ate, is discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
