Electron Localization at Metal Surfaces
L. De Santis, R. Resta
We investigate some surfaces of a paradigmatic sp bonded metal--namely, Al(110), Al(100), and Al(111)--by means of the "electron localization function" (ELF), implemented in a firs…

Surface Reconstructions and Bonding via the Electron Localization Function: The Case of Si(001)
L. De Santis, R. Resta
The bonding pattern of a covalent semiconductor is disrupted when a surface is cut while keeping a rigid (truncated bulk) geometry. The covalent bonds are partly reformed (with a s…
