Abstract
The selfconsistent equations of Kohn and Sham (1965) are applied to metal surfaces. It is shown that at T=0 the highest energy of an occupied state epsilon F is equal to the chemical potential, and that the workfunction is equal to the difference between the vacuum level of the electrostatic potential and epsilon F.
