The temperature dependence of the work functions of the monovalent noble metals.

A theory to explain the temperature dependence of the work function of the monovalent metals has been developed assuming a free-electron approximation for the valence electrons, and a Debye model for the thermal vibrations of the ion cores. The theory predicts that the electrostatic effect of therma...
