Abstract

The model of hydrogen atom ionization near a metal surface is discussed on the basis of a comparison between the metal work function and the atom ionization energy. In the theoretical calculation, it is shown that the hydrogen atom ionization energy decreases when the atom approaches the metal surface. The ionization energy vanishes when the distance between proton and the metal surface is somewhat less than the Bohr radius.
