摘要：
通过光束中纯孤立金属纳米颗粒的光电离，测量了7Li和6Li金属的功函数随温度的变化。这些数据揭示了这些功函数温度变化中的显著同位素效应。此外，对于两种同位素，发现这种温度变化的曲率明显大于可能仅归因于电子气密度变化的值。这些发现增强了锂作为量子材料的表征，其中电子和离子自由度之间的相互作用是非平凡的，并需要超越简单模型的微观理解。此外，观察到功函数曲线的斜率在低温极限下消失，正如基于热力学第三定律所预测的那样。
英文摘要：
The work functions of 7Li and 6Li metals have been measured as a function of temperature, by using photoionization of pure isolated metal nanoparticles in a beam. These data reveal a marked isotope effect in the temperature variation of these work functions. Furthermore, for both isotopes the curvature of this temperature variation is found to be significantly larger than may be ascribed purely to a change in the electron gas density. These findings enhance the characterization of lithium as a quantum material in which the interplay between electronic and ionic degrees of freedom is nontrivial, and call for a microscopic understanding beyond simple models. Additionally, the slope of the work function curves was observed to vanish in the low temperature limit, as had been predicted on the basis of the Third Law of thermodynamics.
