On surface states of one dimensional semiinfinite systems

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Surface state energies are computed for a one dimensional semi-infinite system, which accommodates simultaneously (1) surface distortion (2) adsorbed impurity (3) finite distance of separation between vacuum potential discontinuity and surface atom and (4) negative (attractive) bulk potential. The locations of surface state energies in the band gaps are indicated; further, nature of variations of surface state energies with relevant parameters, covering a wide range, is studied. The results are discussed critically; besides, they are compared with similar ones obtained on the basis of two other models, one due to Aerts and the other due to Neuberger and Rutherford Fischer.
