In summary, the work function of metal and semimetals can be tuned through various methods such as doping, surface treatments, and adjusting the crystal structure. Doping involves introducing impurities into the material, while surface treatments modify the surface properties. Changing the crystal structure can also affect the work function. These techniques can be used to optimize the performance and efficiency of electronic devices and improve their conductivity and contact properties. Additionally, band engineering and quantum confinement of these materials can also play a role in tuning the work function. Overall, the ability to tune the work function of metals and semimetals is crucial in the development of advanced technologies and materials.
