37. Using different techniques, many samples have been prepared with work functions ranging from 2.5 to 4.5 eV (see Ref.), and for all of these samples, raising the temperature of the substrate heater by 20 K dramatically affects thermionic emission intensity. However, for samples with work functions greater than 2.7 eV, in which the photoelectric effect is dormant, laser illumination does not noticeably affect the thermionic emission intensity. Therefore, laser heating at the sample extremity must be less than 20 K.
