Abstract
HITHERTO, the two recognized methods for transferring material from one electrode to others in vacuum have been (1) heat treatment, (2) sputtering by positive ion bombardment. In the course of some work at the G. E. C. Laboratories, it appeared that it was also possible to achieve similar effects by the use of electron bombardment.
