Abstract
The most frequently quoted theories of chemiemission (chemically excited exoelectron emission) — the adsorption and oxidation theories — are compared in the present paper with the hitherto less known Izmailov-Furman theory of potential secondary emission. The values of yields calculated according to the original or adapted Izmailov-Furman theory are compared with the values of yields measured by Geiger on a series of systems of alkaline metal-halogen molecules (also partly oxygen molecules) and by Lohff and Wüstenhagen on systems of certain non-precious metals (Al, Fe) with oxygen or nitrogen molecules.
