What are the surface energy and work function at room temperature (25C), 250C and 300C for the following metal sheets of 10 mil each. Niobium, Tungsten, Tantalum, Rhenium, Ruthenium, Platinum, Aluminum, Stainless Steel (304, 316) . Surface energy is sometimes referred to surface tension. Work Function is a math extension of the surface tension and apparently refers to surface energy. There appears to be a lack of uniform definitions in the academic field regarding each of these definitions. Please clarify if possible.
