Theory of Metal Surfaces: Charge Density and Surface Energy
- 1970
Physics
The first part of this paper deals with the jellium model of a metal surface. The theory of the inhomogeneous electron gas, with local exchange and correlation energies, is used. Self-consistent…
Conductivity of Monovalent Metals

Physics
The conductivity of monovalent metals is computed from the Bloch theory under the assumption that the wave functions of the electrons are nearly the same as those of free electrons throughout the…
Anomalous transport properties of a linear-chain metal: NbSe/sub 3/
- 1977
Physics
The transport properties of the linear-chain metal NbSe/sub 3/ are anomalous. Giant increases in the dc resistivity appear at 145 and 59 K, suggestive of charge-density-wave (CDW) formation. These…
On the Interaction of Electrons in Metals

Physics
The energy of interaction between free electrons in an electron gas is considered. The interaction energy of electrons with parallel spin is known to be that of the space charges plus the exchange…
Theory of the Work Functions of Monovalent Metals
- 1935
Physics
The factors which determine the work function of a metal are described in a qualitative way. The work function is defined as the difference in energy between a lattice with an equal number of ions…

Physics
An expression for the work function of a monovalent metal, previously obtained by E. Wigner and the author, included a term which represents the energy required to move an electron through an…
