Abstract
Temperature and concentration dependences of the electron work function in cesium-potassium alloys were studied by the Fowler photoelectric method for the first time. Our results indicate that the limiting electron activity o f cesium in potassium-cesium alloys is six times larger than that obtained by extrapolating the work function isotherm to pure potassium.
