This lecture covers the electronic properties of surfaces, including the solid-state electronic description of crystals, surface charge density, and the work function in realistic samples. It also discusses absorption and adsorption at surfaces, charge transfer, and the molecular orbital theory. The presentation concludes with the importance of materials with a high surface area to volume ratio.
