Abstract
For a semi-infinite free-electron model with a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the surface, we show that , where and are, respectively, the surface corrections to the Landau diamagnetism and the Pauli paramagnetism. The total surface contribution to the susceptibility is , where is the phase shift for . Since and , the surface contributions to the magnetic susceptibility and electronic heat capacity are positive.
