Abstract

The photoelectric work function of samples of Y1Ba2Cu3O7−δ of approximately 40 μm diameter was measured under ambient temperature and atmosphere in an electrodynamic balance. The measured values had an average of 4.98 eV and a standard deviation of 0.24 eV. The minimum value was 4.46 eV and the maximum was 5.52 eV.
