Abstract:Field emission from single crystals of LiIn, which behave as either narrow-gap semiconductors or semimetals, have been studied using a field emission microscope. A linear Fowler-Nordheim relationship was found. The specimen surfaces were believed to be contaminated.
An attempt is made to establish a correlation between superconductivity and the existence of a certain degree of covalency in metallic compounds on the basis of thermodynamic phase diagrams of some superconducting compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
