摘要
Serious conceptual errors are shown to exist in a new theoretical treatment of field adsorption proposed by Tsong in a recent review. A conceptual error also exists in the standard approach, in that the influence of the adsorbate on the internal energy of the source of the electric field has been neglected. A numerical estimate of the size of the correction to the short-range field-adsorption binding energy, made by means of the isolated-dipole-pair approximation, shows that the correction is small but should not be neglected in detailed treatments. © 1979.
