Surface states and negative electron affinity in polyethylene / Righi, Maria Clelia; Scandolo, S.; Serra, S.; Iarlori, S.; Tosatti, E.; Santoro, G.. - In: PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS. - ISSN 0031-9007. - 87:7(2001), pp. 076802-076806. [10.1103/PhysRevLett.87.076802]
abstract:
The electronic properties of the surfaces of polyethylene (PE) were studied via first-principles calculations. It was confirmed that PE has a negative electron affinity and that PE surfaces possess a surface state whose energy lies in the forbidden bulk gap.
