Impact of the photoelectric threshold sensitivity on the work function determination—Revealing ultra-low work functions of caesiated surfaces
The exploitation of the photoelectric effect is a prominent method for the in situ measurement of the absolute work function of a surface. In the case of metallic surfaces, the Fowler theory is routinely applied for fitting or extrapolating the measured photoelectric yield data to determine the work...
