STIMULATED ELECTRON EMISSION FROM GLASS SURFACE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE,
Abstract
Under the influence of the external electric field of an open atmospheric Geiger counter, an induced emission of electrons by glass was observed after abrading the surface. Emission from a glass surface could be induced also by a gaseous discharge of a small Tesla coil into air atmosphere. Slight emission could be observed in darkness during a few minutes. Abraded glass surfaces showed also an emission of photoelectrons under blue light illumination. Preliminary observations show that the induced emission may also occur from a quartz glass surface. The induced emission observed indicates the possibility of producing F-centers or centers like them as defects in the deformed glass surface. (Author)
