Abstract
The adhesive energies and forces between surfaces of identical simple metals (Al, Mg and Na) modelled by a semi-infinite stabilized jellium have been calculated self-consistently as functions of their separatio n. The calculated binding energies agree well with the experimental su rface energies and a good agreement is found between the maximum adhes ive forces and the empirical fracture strength.
