Abstract
It was found in calculations that the jellium/slab model reduces the ability of the adsorbed atoms to attract the valence
electrons. As a result, the calculated minimum of the work function is too low compared with the experiment. In this paper,
as an improvement, we proposed a jellium sphere/slab model, in which the positive charge background is described by discrete
jellium sphere. Test calculations show that this treatment lifts the work function minimum by 0.4 eV and 0.8 eV for Cs/W(001)
and Cs/Ir(001) system, respectively, resulting in better agreement with experiments.
