| Abstract: | The internal emission of hot electrons from a metal (Pd) surface is studied. The electrons gain energy from chemical atomic collisions with the thermal energy hydrogen atoms or with H2 + O2 molecules. A Pd(15 nm)/n-Si(111) nano-Schottky diode is used as a detector of hot electrons in which chemicurrents (and chemo-emf) are generated. The efficiency of entering of chemo-electrons into the external circuit per act of interaction (or per product molecule) is determined. |
