Abstract
The interface parameter S of metal-ionic insulator interfaces was determined by measuring the photoemission thresholds of metals with a thin overlayer of ionic insulator. The results indicate S values of 1.4±0.2 and 1.6±0.2 for BaF2 and LiF, respectively. These values are in agreement with the recently reported theoretical limit of 1.5.
