31 747. Stability of photomultipliers. (Czechoslovakia) The results of an experimental investigation of stability of photomultiplier parameters.as dependent on &rrent load and temperature variations, are reported.. The stability of Sb-Na-K photocathode and that of the twelve-stage “Venetian blind” dynode system composed of AgMg alloy are treated separately. Causes of insufficient stability in photomultipliers are discussed in detail. M Jedlicka and J Raus, ‘Testa Electronics, 4 (4), 191 I, 99-106.
33 753. Secondary emission of some dielectric and semiconducting films (USSR) under bombardment by Na and K atoms and ions. Secondary electron emission, positive and negative ion emission are investieated for films of KCI. RbBr, Csl. Se and CdTe on MO and W. under bombardment by 30 tb 2500’eV ions and neutral atoms of Na and K. The measurements were performed by the oscillographic method of double modulation during the process of continuous deposition of the films. All three emissions have been observed simultaneously. The obtained results show that electron emission from dielectric films bombarded by atoms of alkali metals is higher than that when bombarded by ions of the same elements.

745. Field emission studies on clean symmetrical surfaces of cadmium sulphide. (Germany) Clean smooth symmetrical field emission patterns of CdS single crystals of about 2.6 x IO” ohm cm bulk resistivity are obtained by a cleaning procedure based upon hydrogen-promoted field evaporation at room temperature. A metallic cell equipped with a channel plate and with possibility of examination of four tips in one bake-out run is used. Besides the use as ion image intensifier, the channel plate allows, in a single cell, examination of ion and electron patterns. A residual gas pressure of lOm10 torr is attained in the cell before hydrogen admission. The best image voltage at 77°K is easily reproducible and by heating at about Il20”K, faceting occurs. The value 4.97 eV of the electron affinity is calculated from the Fowler-Nordheim equation modified for the case of a degenerate surface with field penetration. The Fowler-Nordheim plot shows a hysteresis at fields higher than 4 x IO’ V cm-‘; this could be explained among other interpretations by an adsorption starting at high fields. Under conditions of severe contamination, the work function increases to 1.59 eV. J Marien and J Loosveldt, Ph_~x Stat Sol (a), 8 (I). Nov I97 I, 213-22 I . 33 749. Investigation of photoelectron emission of low-molecular weight organic semiconductors. (USSR) Photoelectron emission from vacuum-deposited thin films of lowmolecular weight organic semiconductors is investigated in vacuum at IO-” to IO-* torr with the aid of a spherical capacitor.
