Abstract
Transients in the ring‐rate changes, which take place when the temperature of a field‐electron emitter is varied, have been observed for several crystal directions on bcc, fcc, and hcp crystals. It is proposed that these transients are the result of changes in the size of small surface facets which are in turn related to anisotropies in the surface tension.Keywords
