	Work function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The work function is the minimum energy (usually measured in electron volts) needed to remove an electron from the Fermi level in a metal to a point at infinite distance away outside the surface.
		The work function is the minimum energy that must be given to an electron to liberate it from the surface of a particular metal.
		In this case, as for example that of an electron escaping from the heated negatively-charged filament of a vacuum tube, the work function may be called the thermionic work function.

	Real-Time Work Function Change
		This decrease in the surface work function is typical for the adsorption of polar alkyl halides on metal surfaces
		The work function increases between 140 and 175 K and between 240 and 280 K are indicative of C-Br bond dissociation and butadiene evolution, respectively.
		Upon heating the surface, the work function increases by ~180 meV between 115 and 145 K as the C-Br bonds dissociate to form adsorbed cyclopentyl groups and bromine atoms on the surface.

	Work Function; Fermi Energy or Fermi Level (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The work function (WF) is the minimum amount of energy needed to remove an electron from the surface of a conductor, to a point just outside the conductor where the electron has zero kinetic energy.
		Work function is usually measured in electron-volts (eV).
		Hence, the work function of a material may change whenever the surface changes, such as with the addition or removal of layers on the surface, surface charging, oxidation, contamination, and the like.

	WORK FUNCTION AT THE TIPS OF MULTIWALLED CARBON NANOTUBES
		For carbon nanotube emitters, most of the electrons are emitted from the tips of the tubes, and it is the local work function that matters to the properties of the tube field emission.
		Since the lack of suitable technical method to measure the work function of carbon nanotubes, the value of work function of carbon nanotubes used in the literatures is mainly from the well-studied carbon or graphite.
		Thus, it is necessary to experimentally measure the work function of carbon nanotubes.

	Event generation and dispatch
		The work function must run for a sufficiently short period (100 ms is usually short enough) so that the user of the application does not notice any delays.
		The management and dispatch of work functions is separate from the passing of control from the main application context.
		A single work function is registered, which does a small amount of work before returning control the the main application context.

	6.1 The Iterator Work Function
		If the work function needs to know the number and size of the image dimensions then these parameters can be passed via the userPointer structure.
		The CFITSIO iterator routine uses this information to determine what column or array to pass to the work function, and whether the array is to be input to the work function, output from the work function, or both.
		The CFITSIO iterator function fills in the values of the remaining structure elements before passing it to the work function.

	How to Work with Function Keys
		The function keys are frequently used in combination with other keys such as the CTRL key, the ALT key, and the Shift key.
		If you happen to be working in a program and would like to see the Windows help screen, simply press the Windows key (the key with the Windows logo on the bottom row of keys) on your keyboard and press F1 at the same time.
		Since functionality can defer, it is often good to look in the help menu of the program that you are using to find a list of the function keys and their uses.

	Kelvin Probe Data
		The work function with CO exposure was monitored in-situ for Pt(111) precovered with sulfur.
		The initial decrease in the work function has been associated with on-top CO absorption and the subsequent increase is attributed to the population of bridge sites [1,2].
		As seen in the figure the initial decrease in the work function with CO exposure is less pronounced as the sulfur pre-coverage increases.

	7. The CFITSIO Iterator Function
		The CFITSIO iterator function then does all the work of allocating memory for the arrays, reading the input data from the FITS file, passing them to the work function, and then writing any output data back to the FITS file after the work function exits.
		This is especially important when processing tabular data since the iterator function will calculate the most efficient number of rows in the table to be passed at one time to the user's work function on each iteration.
		One of these parameters is a structure containing pointers to the arrays of data; the work function can perform any desired operations on these arrays and does not need to worry about how the input data were read from the file or how the output data get written back to the file.

	Kernel Korner - The New Work Queue Interface in the 2.6 Kernel \| Linux Journal
		The work queue structure is represented by struct work_struct and defined in linux/workqueue.h.
		In this case, p is a pointer to a work_struct structure, function is the work queue handler and data is the lone argument the kernel passes to it on invocation.
		These two functions are analogous to schedule_work() and schedule_delayed_work(), except they queue the given work into the given work queue instead of the default one.

	PHP: register_shutdown_function - Manual
		Since PHP 4.1, the shutdown functions are called as the part of the request so that it's possible to send the output from them.
		Note: using the pcntl function in web server envoirment is considered problematic, so if you are writing a script that runs both from the command line and from the server, you should put some conditional code around that block that identifies wheater this is a command line envoirment or not.
		The alternative is to use register_shutdown_function(array(and$object, 'function')) where the ampersand passes the reference and not the copy.

	PRESS RELEASE "Avto Effect" Transforms Electron Emission Characteristics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The idea of improving the geometry of the surface to effectively change the work function of a material across the whole surface is a new development which has become possible as a result of improved techniques for precisely texturing a surface at the nanoscale level.
		An important difference between the Avto Effect and earlier work is that the higher rate of emission is consistent across the whole surface of the film, so Avto Metals do not rely on field emitters such as tips or nanotubes which are difficult to fabricate and handle.
		And because the reduced work functions of Avto Metals allow for thermionic emission instead of field emission, emission occurs as a result of elevated temperatures, not the application of very high voltages.
