| Abstract: | A two step model of electron density profile at the surface of a metal is in use for the study of surface plasmas. The same model is used here to calculate surface energy and work function. The parameters in the model are determined by minimizing surface energy. It is shown that the model is a reasonable approximation to the true profile only in low density metals. |
