Abstract

A thermionic diode is described for the measurement of surface potentials during the adsorption of gases or sodium on evaporated metal films. The method, which enables rapid surface potential changes to be followed, uses a stabilized current supply and allows characteristics curves to be plotted out automatically. A new filament stabilizer is also described. Some test surface potential data are given.
