Abstract
The dielectric response of solid surfaces is a growing field of interest because it provides a unified description of many phenomena of experimental interest in surface physics, as optical properties, static screening, charge-surface interaction, electromagnetic excitations, and so on [1]. Much experimental work has been carried out in the last decade and earlier, but theory is still developing. The dielectric formulation of surface response is indeed much more difficult from the mathematical and computational point of view than that of bulk response, because of the reduced surface symmetry. Most of the theoretical work has been made for the simplest surface, i.e. the jellium surface[2], while very little has been made to take into account the microscopic structure of crystal surfaces.
