Scientific paper

It is shown that, in an electric field typical of rotating neutron stars, electronic surface states can exist. The wavelengths corresponding to transitions between surface states lie in the ultraviolet or soft X-ray wave bands. It is proposed that detection of emission or absorption lines from surface states could become a new probe into the surface of neutron stars.
