Electron emission from single crystals of alkali halide compounds under bombardment with ions and atoms of inert gases. (USSR) The potential and kinetic emission of electrons from (100) faces of KBr, NaCl and LiF is investigated with bombardment by ions and atoms of He, Ne, Ar and Kr in the energy range 0.2 to 6 keV at sample temperatures of 350 to 380°C. The experimental vacuum apparatus contains an ion source with focusing lenses, a chargeexchange chamber, an electrostatic separator of ions and atoms and a detector of ions and atoms. The residual gas pressure was 1 Y lo-’ torr in the experimental apparatus. A monotonic increase of the coefficients of ion-electron and atom-electron emissions is found for increasing energy of primary particles.

18 57. Secondary electron emission of tungsten and molybdenum single crystals. (USSR) Secondary electron emission from the (111) and (110) faces of single crystal tungsten and the (100) and (110) faces of single crystal molybdenum is investigated in an experimental device at lo-’ torr, in the range of primary electron energies of 100 to 1500 eV, using the method of double modulation. The dependences of the total coefficient of secondary emission, the coefficient of true secondary electrons and the coefficients of elastically and inelastically reflected electrons on the primary electron energy are measured. U A Arifov et al, Izv Akad Nauk SSSR Ser Fiz, 35 (3), 1971, 56(r561 (in Russian). 18 58. Optical properties of modern multialkali photocathodes and their emission ability. (USSR) Optical properties of multialkali photocathodes are investigated and their influence on the photoelectron emission is discussed. V E Kondrashov et al, Izv Akad Nauk SSSR Ser Fiz, 35 (3), 1971,621623 (in Russian). 18 59. Investigation of photoelectron emission in vacuum ultraviolet
region. (USSR) Spectral distributions of the quantum yield in the region of 500 to 2500 A are measured for CuI, GaAs, CdS and Si, and the photoelectron work function of CuI is determined. Differential pumping in the vacuum monochromator gave a receiver chamber pressure of 1O-6 torr while in the chamber of the radiation source the pressure was 1 torr. Possible applications of the tested materials in radiation detectors are discussed. Zh Kh Khachatryan et al, Izv Akud Nauk SSSR Ser Fiz, 35 (3), 197 I, 624-626

18 60. Energy distribution of photoelectrons and quantum yield of the
external photoeffect of barium and terbium films with different thicknesses. (USSR) Thickness dependences of the quantum yield of the external photoeffect, optical characteristics, and energy distribution of photoelectrons from barium and terbium films on quartz substrates are investigated. The pressure during Iayer deposition was 1 x lo--* torr and during measurement in a sealed glass experimental device the pressure was 2-3 x 1OW torr. It is found that the thickness dependences have maxima at the thickness of 50 A. The maxima are connected with optical properties of the layers and scattering of the photoelectrons. A R Shulman et al, Izv Akad Nuuk SSSR Ser Fir, 35 (3), 1971, 627631 (in Russian). 18 61. Thermionic emission of electrons on change of work function and formation of a surface double layer. (USSR) Thermionic emission from an insulated emitter is considered. A double electric layer is formed on its surface, the potential of which is determined in principle by the electron temperature. The surface emission layer causes the appearance of heavy ions moving with

ultrathermal velocities. Similar phenomena may arise at electric and laser explosions on boundary of solid or liquid phase/vacuum, and in some astrophysical processes.

Calculation of the redistribution of current density on the screen of an emission microscope due to contact microfields is performed. It is shown that this effect can cause considerable errors in the determination of local work function on the cathode surface from the image of a thermionic emitter in the emission microscope.

(USSR) Electron emission from a tungsten sample excited by the radiation from a ruby laser, operated in the free generation regime, is investigated. The results indicate the possibility of a multiphoton mechanism of electron release for spike emission and a strong relation between integral heating of the target and losses of energy due to evaporation of material by spikes of radiation.

longitudinal magnetic field. (USSR) Uniformity of electron emission in a magnetic field at different regimes of oxide cathode operation is investigated in an experimental diode. It is found that irregularities in geometry of the oxide cathode surface considerably influences the uniformity of the emission current in the saturated current region. M V Krasinkova et al.
