Abstract:

This final report summarizes the general area of research done during the 30-year period from 1947 to 1977, and it gratefully acknowledges the continuing sympathetic and financial support of the Office of Naval Research during this long period. Without this support, the research reviewed here would have been severely limited. The main body of the report is divided into essentially two parts Photoionization in Gases and Optical and Photoelectric Effects in Solids. While this material is generally in the nature of a survey, ordered in historical sequence, the last few years from 1972 to 1977 on Plasma Research are dealt with in some detail in Section IIh in order to satisfy the formal requirements of this Final Report. Two lists of references are appended, and a total of about 200 individual references are listed. Author
