Pg. Borziak et al., CURRENT STIMULATED ELECTRON AND PHOTON-EMISSION FROM ADLAYER-COVERED NANOMATERIALS, Progress in Surface Science, 53(2-4), 1996, pp. 171-178
We review experimental investigations of the effect of electropositive
and organic overlayers on electron and light emission from nanodisper
sed (metal and semiconductor) thin films excited by the conduction cur
rent. Possible mechanisms of the emission are discussed.
