Critical Potentials in Secondary Electron Emission From Iron, Nickel, and Molybdenum is a rigorous scientific study by Robert L. Petry that investigates the intricate dynamics of electron interactions with metallic surfaces. Conducted during a foundational era for modern atomic physics, this work provides a detailed experimental analysis of the conditions under which secondary electrons are emitted when primary electrons strike targets made of iron, nickel, and molybdenum.

Petry meticulously examines the relationship between the energy of incident electrons and the resulting emission yields, identifying the specific critical potentials that characterize these transition metals. Through systematic observation and precise measurement, the text offers significant data regarding electron-solid interactions and the behavior of metals under vacuum conditions. The research presented here contributed to the early understanding of the electronic structure of materials and the development of vacuum tube technology.

This volume serves as an essential reference for those interested in the history of experimental physics and the evolution of surface science, documenting a crucial step in the characterization of material properties through electron spectroscopy.
