Spectrum of electronic excitations due to the adsorption of atoms on metal surfaces.
The time-dependent, mean-field Newns-Anderson model for a spin-polarized adsorbate approaching a metallic surface is solved in the wide-band limit. Equations for the time evolution of the electronic structure of the adsorbate-metal system are derived and the spectrum of electronic excitations is found. The behavior of the model is demonstrated for a set of physically reasonable parameters.
