摘要:
Nanocrystalline (NC) samples of tungsten have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy, field ion microscopy and field electron energy spectroscopy. It has been shown that energy distributions of field-emitted electrons from NC tungsten differ significantly from energy distributions of coarse-grained metal. Theoretical analysis shows that the revealed differences are caused by work function changes and Fermi's level shifts due to formation of NC structure in the metal. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
