Sažetak

We have performed ab initio density functional calculations of thin Ag films on the Pd(111) surface. We have calculated the structural properties and the electronic bands of the Ag/Pd systems. There is a band gap in the electronic density of states around the centre of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone of the Pd(111) surface, which makes possible the formation of localised states in the adsorbed silver films. We find that quantum-well states may form at binding energies around 4 eV.
