Abstract
The formation of split-off surface states is commonly explained by global electrostatic shifts of the potential in the surface layer and corresponding core level shifts are expected. Based on all-electron local density functional theory, it is shown that this is the case for the surface of a pure transition metal such as Ni, but not for the surface of a compound such as TiC where a simple ionic picture is found to be insufficient.
