Hi all,
I'm trying to find resources for how to calculate and find what I should expect as the result of the interface between two metals with different work functions.
Anderson's[/PLAIN] Rule tells us how to do this for two semiconductors and the Schottky-Mott Rule tells us how to do it for a metal-semiconductor interface (and those articles both mention that in reality those rules rarely actually predict something close to reality).
All I can find for a metal-metal interface (assuming there are no oxide layers between them or anything) is this article, but it's not clear to me if that's a very oversimplified model or not.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or know of any programs that could calculate this?
Thank you!
