Abstract
The surface contributions to the electronic heat capacity and spin susceptibility are, respectively, and for any semi-infinite free-electron model, where is a phase shift determined by the surface potential. The electronic surface heat capacity thus can provide some information about the surface potential seen by electrons (or with many-body effects included, electron quasiparticles).
