Abstract

Measurements have been made with a Geiger counter of photo-exoemission from aluminum. The effects of time, temperature, and various adsorbates on the electron emission rate were measured. Adsorption reduces the electron emission rate; ion bombardment within the counter is shown to remove the effects of adsorbed gases. Adsorption of atmospheric gases can explain previously reported decay in emission and temperature effects.
