Electron Affinity of Oxygen

Abstract

IN recent years there has been considerable argument concerning the electron affinity of oxygen1,2, and it is the purpose of this communication to direct attention to recent developments in this field resulting from work carried out with a Lozier ionization chamber apparatus in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Liverpool. A full account will be published elsewhere in due course.
