Abstract

The temperature and concentration dependences of the electronic work function (EWF) of K–Cs alloys at thermodynamic equilibrium in an ultrahigh vacuum are studied with a photoelectric method. At 0–20 and 70–100 at. % Cs, the temperature coefficient of EWF depends on the Cs concentration c Cs in a complicated fashion: it is positive at small c Cs and negative at c Cs > 18 at. %.
