Field Desorption
Abstract
Field desorption of barium, thorium, oxygen, and some other adsorbates is studied in a field emission microscope with reversed polarity as a function of field strength, temperature and degree of coverage. The desorption occurs in the 100, 200, and 500 million volts/cm range, for the three substances, respectively. At the highest fields the tungsten substrate itself evaporates at room temperature. The quantitative interpretation of the measurements suggests that field desorption be considered as an evaporation of ions in which the energy hump is reduced by the Schottky effect.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
