Thermal radiation from metal surfaces

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The thermal radiation from metals is calculated by including the Holstein processes of phonon-assisted and surface-assisted scattering in the free-electron model. This approach provides a fairly accurate description of the experimentally measured total emissivity of good conductors in terms of the dc resistivity and the radius of the free-electron sphere. These calculations do not support the Foote and Davisson–Weeks-type equations which have been used previously.
