Abstract
We have calculated the binding energies for electron states which are localized just outside of the surface of a (liquid) dielectric sphere in which a positive ion impurity is dissolved. The model considers four quantities: the static and optical dielectric constants of the liquid, the conduction band minimum in the liquid, and the radius of the sphere. We find that surface states are possible for water and ammonia but for argon the ion is not sufficiently screened to permit surface states.
