- \item Properties of surface region
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Difference between potential of surface and bulk
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Change between the two limits in the ``near-surface'' region
- \end{itemize}
- \item Theoretical models for the potential, 1D vs 3D
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Simplest case is a step potential.
- \item Various improvements on this model, discussed in Komolov's book.
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Possibly adapt CQM project to model these potentials, if I get time
- \end{itemize}
- \end{itemize}
- \item Limitations of theoretical models
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Real surface is not a step potential
- \item Adsorption of foreign particles onto the surface also plays a large role in determining the electron spectrum.
