Abstract:

Under the influence of the external electric field of an open atmospheric Geiger counter, an induced emission of electrons by glass was observed after abrading the surface. Emission from a glass surface could be induced also by a gaseous discharge of a small Tesla coil into air atmosphere. Slight emission could be observed in darkness during a few minutes. Abraded glass surfaces showed also an emission of photoelectrons under blue light illumination. Preliminary observations show that the induced emission may also occur from a quartz glass surface. The induced emission observed indicates the possibility of producing F-centers or centers like them as defects in the deformed glass surface. Author
