Abstract
Papers fromEkertowa andDember show contradicting results concerning the additivity of photoelectric current and secondary electron current. We found, upon investigation, that additivity exists between photoelectric current and secondary electron current for metals in agreement withEkertowa. The large departures from additivity, observed byDember, receive reasonable interpretation in terms of an internal photoelectric effect in the oxide layer of his target.
