Abstract
The positive and negative thermionic emission for molybdenum has been investigated. The electron work function has been found to be 4.17 volts and that of the positive ion 8.35 volts. The positive ion emission has been shown to agree with the Saha theory of ion formation to within the experimental limits of error.
