What do We Mean by Work Function” ?

Forbes, Richard G.

Abstract This paper is intended as a brief tutorial on work functions. It summarises some basic facts about the concept of “work function” as conventionally used in surface science. It then discusses various other parameters that get called “work function” in the contexts of field emission and scanning tunnelling microscopy.
