Effet de scintillation et structure de couches minces métalliques

Abstract
Study of the scintillation effect of thin layers of Ag and In for frequencies between 16 Hz and 100 kHz. For small currents, à law is found in the form of : e = k I2/v. For very thin layers, which are not continuous, this law does not hold if Ic is greater than a certain limit. The discrepancy is particularly noticeable at low frequencies. Scintillation effect of layers of various thicknesses is studied in relation with their structure (observed by electronic microscope).
