Resume of metal surface properties and electronic structure 

Adsorbates on the surface may sometimes produce ordered overlayers with their own periodicity consequently, the adsorbate structure is added to that of the substrate metal surface. For example, the notation M(110)-c(2 X 2)0 means that oxygen atoms form

When a crystal is cut and a surface is created, naturally some bonds are broken. The orbitals involved in the bond breaking no longer overlap with those of the removed atom and, therefore, the resulting band becomes narrower. 

In addition to the DOS, there are other important electronic properties of the surface. One of these is the so-called work function, which is the minimum
