Interplay between the ionic and electronic density profiles in liquid metal surfaces
arXiv:cond-mat/0509719 · doi:10.1063/1.2125728
Abstract
First principles molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for the liquid-vapor interfaces of liquid Li, Mg, Al and Si. We analize the oscillatory ionic and valence electronic density profiles obtained, their wavelengths and the mechanisms behind their relative phase-shift.
