ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for measuring the electron escape potential (or: Volta potential) of a metal surface. This apparatus comprises a conductive plate to be placed into the vicinity of and parallel to a metal surface under examination in order to form a capacitor; switch means for electrically connecting the conductive plate to a reference potential point; means for subjecting the conductive plate to vibration in a direction vertical to the metal surface; and an external circuit for measuring a measuring potential which is proportional to a current emitted by the capacitor. The conductive plate together with the switch means and part of the vibration-generating means are located in a probe and this probe is connected with the remainder of the apparatus by means of a flexible line which includes the required electric connections.
