Cesiation of W(001): Work function lowering by multiple dipole formation

  • 1. Materials Research Center and Physics Department, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60201

Description

Rigorous, self-consistent, all-electron, full potential linearized augmented plane wave studies reveal that the lowering of the W(001) work function upon cesiation arises from a complex multiple dipole formation mechanism: Essentially, Cs forms a metallic overlayer with its valence electrons strongly polarized and its 5p semicore shell polarized oppositely
