Abstract

Electrons bound on the surface of solid hydrogen catalyze the ortho—para transition. Under certain conditions the energy of the o—p transition is greater than that binding the electron to the surface. As a result, the electron may be ejected from the surface by the transition that it has initiated. We have calculated the transition rate for the self-induced electron emission and determined the conditions under which it could be observed.
