Electronic band structure of silver low-index surfaces: a tight-binding study

We studied the electronic band structure and corresponding local density of states of low-index fcc Ag surfaces (100), (110), and (111) by using the empirical tight-binding method in the framework of the Surface Green’s Function Matching formalism. The energy values for different surface and resonance states are reported and a comparison with the available experimental and theoretical data is also done.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
