Abstract
Based on detailed theoretical analyses, we present, for the first time, direct evidence that the significant interface dipole commonly observed for atoms and molecules physisorbed on metal surfaces originates from exchangelike effects. In the case of Xe, previously proposed contributions from chemical interactions do not play a significant role.Year: 2002 PMID: 12190419 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.096104
