Thanks to its ability to treat large-scale systems without demanding a huge premium in calculation time, ATK is an ideal tool to study the
work function of surfaces. To demonstrate this ability,
Cybernet Systems Co., our highly valued distributor in Japan, have authored a
very detailed and instructive tutorial on this topic.
The systems used for the demonstration are various metal surfaces, and as the tutorial will show, ATK provides accurate values for the work function for a wide range of metals.
