Abstract
Emission of electrons (``Exo‐electrons'') from aluminum was observed by an openwindow Geiger‐Müller counter after quenching from temperatures between 300° and 450°C. Emission rates as a function of time at room temperature agreed well with data calculated on the basis of a model involving the diffusion of point defects toward the surface. The energy of formation for the process was determined and discussed in terms of point imperfections.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
