Abstract

The authors show how the elementary concepts which govern the bulk total energy and crystal structure of sp bonded metals are also relevant at the surface. A simple model explains the observed contraction in the interlayer spacing of the (110) surface layer of aluminium compared with the (100) and (111) surfaces.
