the Temperature Dependence of the Work Functions of Single Crystal Surfaces of Copper.

Without reference to any model of a solid, it has been inferred from experimental work done by Bolshov (8) that the work function approaches a value independent of crystallographic orientation near the melting point. A brief review of Armstrong's (3) calculations of the temperature coefficient...

Description
Summary:Without reference to any model of a solid, it has been inferred from experimental work done by Bolshov (8) that the work function approaches a value independent of crystallographic orientation near the melting point. A brief review of Armstrong's (3) calculations of the temperature coefficient of the work function of copper at room temperature has been presented. These calculations assume that the work function does not differ appreciably from the work function at absolute zero. [...] ===
