Line 265: == Physical factors that determine the work function == Due to the complications described in the modelling section below, it is difficult to theoretically predict the work function with accuracy. ~~Various~~However, various trends have~~, however,~~ been identified. The work function tends to be smaller for metals with an open lattice,{{what\|date=October 2020\|reason=open not defined}} and larger for metals in which the atoms are closely packed. It is somewhat higher on dense crystal faces than open crystal faces, also depending on [[surface reconstruction]]s for the given crystal face. === Surface dipole ===
