 The
image in our JFI web logo is from the early days of research on
metals at the institute. "Field emission from nickel surfaces,"
Robert Gomer, Journal of Chemical Physics volume 21 p. 293 (1953).
The image is adapted from Figure 26, whose caption reads "Figure
26: 100 nickel surface with oxygen overlayer. 10^{-5} millimeter
pressure of O_2. .1 microamp, 20,000 volts." Discoveries
about the effect of oxygen on nickel surfaces have continued to
the present day at the JFI.
