Abstract

A method is indicated for calculating the characteristics of the electronic states of atoms near crystal surfaces; it uses the formalism of quantum mechanical scattering theory. In the general case, any change in energy levels is characterized by two parameters: the displacement, LAMBDA , of the level, and its effective width, GAMMA , which during adsorption at the crystal/electrolyte interface depend on the potential drop across the Helmholtz layer. It is found how LAMBDA and GAMMA depend on the crystal's band structure and on the atomic characteristics.
