Abstract
The ion emission properties of MxV2O5 (M = Li, Na, K, Cs) bronzes were stud ied at temperatures from 480 to 700 degrees C in applied fields of up to 20 kV/cm. The results were used to evaluate the activation energies of alkali -metal-ion emission from the vanadium bronzes. The emission properties of t he bronzes were found to correlate with their diffusion properties. The mec hanisms of ion emission from vanadium bronzes are discussed.
