Abstract
Methods for calculating potential energy surfaces of image potential states are presented. The methods cover metal-vacuum interfaces, metal-dielectric medium interfaces, and metal-dielectric medium-vacuum interfaces. The meta l is approximated as a perfect conductor or as a Fermi-Thomas metal. Potent ial energy surfaces and the induced charge densities are presented as funct ions of the properties of the dielectric medium, the metal and the thicknes s of the absorbed material.
