The effect of lattice periodicity on the electronic configuration near a metal surface

Includes bibliographical references. === A method is developed for calculating single electron wave functions in a semi-infinite metal. The effect of the lattice periodicity is explicitly taken into account so that the solution in the far interior is consistent with the band structure of the infinit...
