PREDICTION OF SURFACE-STATES OF V(001) AND MN(001)

The surface states of V(001) and Mn(001) are calculated using real-spa ce recursive Green's function and self-consistent tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbitals. The local density of states of each system indic ates both the common features and the possible surface states near the Fermi level that are expected to be observed by the scanning tunnelin g microscope and other experimental techniques. The method can serve t o complement the experimental identification of chemical species on va rious surfaces.
