Abstract
Slow (<5 eV) positrons () are observed emanating from clean (submonolayer contaminated) single-crystal metal surfaces which are being bombarded by 0.1-3-keV . A portion of the emitted slow from Al(100) has a narrow range of energies and a temperature-dependent intensity which suggests that these are thermalized in the bulk and have a negative work function eV. A higher-energy portion of the slow- spectrum has a temperature-independent intensity attributable to nonthermalized .
