Abstract

Applications of the density functional theory to the electronic structure of bare metal surfaces and metal surfaces with adsorbed atoms are reviewed and their usefulness and limitations are discussed. Also included are brief descriptions of some ongoing work on improvement of the underlying approximations and of an adaptation of the Green’s function (KKR) method to the geometry of a film.
