✦ Synopsis

for the work function fWF1 is used to calculate the WF of transition metals. It is shown that the values of WF calculated from BE agree both with those measured for polycrystalline samples and those calculated ab initio for transition metals. The best agreement is observed in the first middle of the d metal series.
