Electron work function: an indicative parameter towards a novel material design methodology [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Electron work function (EWF) has demonstrated its great promise in materials analysis and design, particularly for single-phase materials, e.g., solute selection for optimal solid-solution strengthening.

Electron work function - a probe for interfacial diagnosis. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractA poor interface or defected interfacial segment may trigger interfacial cracking, loss of physical and mechanical functions, and eventual failure of entire material system. Here we show a novel method to diagnose local interphase boundary based on interfacial electron work function (EWF) and its gradient across the interface, which can be ...

Work function and surface stability of tungsten-based thermionic electron emission cathodes
APL Materials, 2017 Materials that exhibit a low work function and therefore easily emit electrons into vacuum form the basis of electronic devices used in applications ranging from satellite communications to thermionic energy conversion.

Electron work function-a promising guiding parameter for material design. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractUsing nickel added X70 steel as a sample material, we demonstrate that electron work function (EWF), which largely reflects the electron behavior of materials, could be used as a guide parameter for material modification or design. Adding Ni having a higher electron work function to X70 steel brings more “free” electrons to the steel, leading ...

Electronics with stainless steel: The work functions
Journal of Applied Physics, 2023 The work functions of different stainless steels were investigated and found to be in the range of 4.08–4.19 eV. They characterize the passive layer, an oxide layer on top of the stainless steel bulk material. This layer makes the steels corrosion-resistant, and it also controls the possible electronic and electrochemical applications of such materials.

Work Function Trends and New Low-Work-Function Boride and Nitride Materials for Electron Emission Applications [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2021 LaB6 has been used as a commercial electron emitter for decades. Despite the large number of studies on the work function of LaB6, there is no comprehensive understanding of work function trends in the hexaboride materials family. In this study, we use Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to calculated trends of rare earth hexaboride work ...
