Page 8 - The analogy between this and the distribution function for metals has led to the use of the term "Fermi level" for the chemical potential. The quantity X, representing the difference in energy between the bottom of the conduction band and a position just outside the surface, is known as the electron affinity of the crystal or the surface work function. As we shall presently see, the release of an electron from the crystal requires an energy e<l, ; <t, is known as the total thermionic work function.
