Abstract
Full‐temperature‐range electron and ion emission data from the eight cesiated nonrefractory metals are reported in the range of cesium arrival flux from 1012 to 1018 atoms/cm2·sec, as determined from measurements between 1013 and 1017 atoms/cm2·sec. Cesiated electron emission S curves and cesium surface‐ionization critical‐temperature envelopes are shown. The experimental techniques, which include automatic data recording and computer analysis and reduction, are described.Keywords
