Abstract
The results of the recent theoretical and computer simulation studies on surface properties of the classical one-component plasma (OCP) provide a useful starting point for understanding a liquid metal surface. Most difficult problems in the studies of a liquid metal surface are how to achieve self-consistency between the electronic and ionic distributions and how to treat screening effect in the inhomogeneous liquid-vapor transition zone. Recently, an important progress has been made in these problems. We summarize these results of theoretical and computer simulation studies for the OCP and liquid metal surfaces.
