Effect of Coulomb interaction on chemical potential of metal film

P. P. Kostrobij, B. M. Markovych

Published 2017-02-14Version 1

The chemical potential of a metal film within the jellium model with taking into account the Coulomb interaction between electrons is calculated. The surface potential is modeled as the infinite rectangular potential well. The behavior of the chemical potential as a function of the film thickness is studied, the quantum size effect for this quantity is discovered. It is shown that taking into account the Coulomb interaction leads to a significant decrease of the chemical potential and to an enhancement of the quantum size effect.
