The work function (WF) of a metal can be defined as the minimum energy required to extract one electron from a metal. Obviously the WF is one of the fundamental electronic properties of bare and coated metallic surfaces.
In the first half of this century the WF was discussed mainly in connection with the thermionic emission of electrons, which was first observed by EDISON in 1884. RICHARDSON (1901) and DUSHMAN (1923) derived the equation for the thermionic emission current. In the 1930s WIGNER and BARDEEN did a calculation to determine the WF of simple metals which is still the basis for modern theoretical treatments. In an excellent article HERRING and NICHOLS /I.I/ reviewed the field of thermionic emission up to 1949.
Since 1949 the interest in the WF has been stimulated by ultra-high-vacuum technique, by new experimental surface techniques and by technological interest in thermionic converters and in catalysis. As a result, progress both theoretical and experimental, is now very rapid, and a series of review papers has been published.
