Prediction of surface states of V(001) and Mn(001)

The surface states of V(001) and Mn(001) are calculated using real-space recursive Green's function and self-consistent tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbitals. The local density of states of each system indicates both the common features and the possible surface states near the Fermi level that are expected to be observed by the scanning tunneling microscope and other experimental techniques. The method can serve to complement the experimental identification of chemical species on various surfaces.
