Abstract
A self-energy formalism is used to determine the quantal image potential for an electron near an impenetrable solid surface. The electron is considered to be in a Coulombic potential outside a repulsive wall. The complete, orthonormal basis set of wave functions for an electron in such a model potential is employed in the calculation of the image potential.
