Abstract
IN order to obtain very thin photo–electric layers, P. Görlich1 investigated alloys of alkali metals with other metals and found that very thin layers of cæsium–antimony and cæsium–bismuth alloys are sensitive to visible light. I have made some further experiments with these alloys and obtained some results which are summarized below; a more detailed description will be published elsewhere.
