Comment on ‘Bulk-plasmon contribution to the work function of metals’
Abstract
Simple derivation of work function of metals based on the bulk-plasmon contribution is discussed here in a form of a comment to previously published work. We show that such a derivation is neither the fi first of its kind, nor it is in agreement with experimental data. Incidentally, the physical foundations of the proposed derivation appear to be flawed.
