Popis: Noble-metal multilayer systems have been grown and examined with angle-resolved photoemission. Surface states, and single and double quantum wells have been studied experimentally; the results can be explained with a simple theoretical model based upon Bloch electrons. In this paper, we will present our model and then give a description of some experimental studies which utilize the model. In particular, we will consider double-quantum-well systems which can be used to examine basic aspects of electronic confinement, layer–layer coupling, and translayer interaction through a barrier.
