Abstract

The results of a study of the effects of intense electrostatic fields on the reflectivity of tungsten show no detectable change with surface voltage gradients up to about 6×106 volts/cm. The indications are that, in order to produce observable effects on the reflectivity of tungsten, it will probably be necessary to use much higher surface voltage gradients and a more sensitive detecting means.
