Zintl proposed a class of intermetallic compounds in which the CT from the more electropositive metal forces the other metal to assume the bonding arrangement typical of the next column element. E.

24. From the complex band structure of Si [e.g., S. Krishnamurthy and J. A. Moriarty, Phys. Rev. B 32, 1027 (1985)], we know that at the charge neutrality level (0.2 eV above the valence band edge) the complex wave vector is about 0.2 Å-1, in other words, the charge in the evanescent state penetrates about 4 Å into Si. Assuming a full monolayer coverage that would result in the electron density of about 1022 cm-3 and the Debye length on the order of 1 Å, therefore, the surface region is metallic and the electrostatic potential of the Sr ion is screened. Thus, the bending is just a shift.
