Experiments have been conducted with magnesium oxide surfaces in which high dc fields were applied to the surface, while at the same time secondary emission measurements were being made. Very high secondary emission ratios were obtained reproducibly (100 to 1 and greater). Under static conditions it was found that the ratios would increase exponentially with increasing fields. In addition, for constant fields, the ratio of liberated electrons to bombarding electrons was constant, over a wide range of bombardment energy. Measurements were made of secondary emission with a square wave field applied to the surface and time lag effects were noted. Decay time in the order of 30 microseconds were measured. The rise time was found to be dependent upon field and bombarding currents. The mechanism of field dependent secondary emission was shown to be related to an avalanche effect, triggered by the bombarding electrons.
