All-electron local-density theory of alkali-metal bonding on transition-metal surfaces: Cs on W(001)

Erich Wimmer, +4 more
- 15 Sep 1983 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical study of the mechanism of the bonding of an alkali metal (Cs) on a transition-metal surface [W(001)] in the high-coverage limit is presented in order to understand and explain the lowering of the work function and to elucidate the role of W surface states and surface resonance states in the adsorption process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxide films at the nanoscale: new structures, new functions, and new materials.

Livia Giordano, +1 more
- 01 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: The basic principles underlying electron transfer and other phenomena are now largely understood, thus paving the way for the rational design of new catalytic systems based on oxide ultrathin films.

Fundamental physics of vacuum electron sources

Shigehiko Yamamoto
- 01 Jan 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the history of electron emission from a standpoint of the work function that determines the electron emission capability and of applications in the fields of scientific instruments and displays.

Atomic Binding of Transition Metals on Clean Single‐Crystal Tungsten Surfaces

E. W. Plummer, +1 more
- 15 Oct 1968 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the binding energy of the Period 6 transition elements on atomically perfect single-crystal planes of tungsten was measured by utilizing low-temperature pulse field desorption, in a ultrahighvacuum field-ion microscope.

Desorption of alkali atoms and ions from oxide surfaces: Relevance to origins of Na and K in atmospheres of Mercury and the Moon

Theodore E. Madey, +3 more
- 25 Mar 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the literature dealing with adsorption and desorption of alkalis on oxide surfaces is presented, and the relevance of these data to the desorbed alkalis from mineral surfaces and to the origins of alkali vapors in tenuous planetary atmospheres is discussed.
