Early Publications:

Positive Thermions from Salts and Alkali Earths. Phil. Mag., 23:121-39.

  • The very early work which showed Davisson's interest in Thermions

Role Played by Gases in the Emission of Positive Thermions from Salts. Phil. Mag., 23:139-47. 1916

  • The paper concerned about the emission pattern and it was the start of Davisson's further exploration into this particular research field.

Dispersion of Hydrogen and Helium on Bohr's Theory. Phys. Rev., ser. 2, 8:20-27.

  • This paper analyzed the scattering pattern of hydrogen and helium; One of the most important paper of Davisson.

Gravitation and Electrical Action. Science, n.s., 43 ^29. 1917

  • The Electro-magnetic Mass of the Parson Magnetron (abstract). Phys. Rev., ser. 2, 9:570-71. 1920

With H. A. Pidgeon. The Emission of Electrons from Oxide-coated Filaments. Phys. Rev., ser. 2, 15:553-55. 

  • In this paper, Davisson expanded the observation from scattering and emission pattern to various surfaces.  

Collaborated Publications with C. H. Kunsman:

edit

With C. H. Kunsman. The Scattering of Electrons by Aluminum (abstract). Phys. Rev., ser. 2,19:534-35.

With C. H. Kunsman. Secondary Electron Emission from Nickel (abstract). Phys. Rev., ser. 2, 20:110. 

  • This series of publication started off with the observation Davisson discovered together with Kunsman. In the paper, he analyzed the phenomenon that there were secondary electrons emitted from Nickel which have the same energy as the primary electrons. They found two maximums in the secondardy electrons.  

With C. H. Kunsman. Scattering of Low Speed Electrons by Platinum and Magnesium. Phys. Rev., ser. 2,22:242-58.

  • In this paper, they repeated the same experiment by expanding the observation from Aluminum and Nickel to various metals. The paper involves a discussion of the theory behind the secondary electrons scattering pattern.

Collaborated Publications with L. H. Germer:

edit

With L. H. Germer. The Emission of Electrons from Oxide-coated Filaments under Positive Bombardment. Phys. Rev., ser. 2, 15:33

With L. H. Germer. Thermionic Work Function of Tungsten. Phys. Rev., ser. 2, 20:300-30.

  • In this publication, measurements of the Thermionic Work Function of Pure Tungsten have been made by two methods for the same segment of a uniformly heated filament simultaneously.

With L. H. Germer. The Thermionic Work Function of Oxide-coated Platinum (abstract). Phys. Rev., ser. 2, 21:2o8. 

With L. H. Germer. Diffraction of Electrons. Phys. Rev., ser. 2, 30:705- 40. With L. H. Germer.

  • In this paper, they observed electron beams resulting from diffraction from single crystal of Nickel, which was in agreement with de Broglie's principle.

With L. H. Germer. Scattering of Electrons by a Single Crystal of Nickel. Nature, 119:558-60.

With L. H. Germer. "Anomalous Dispersion" of Electron Waves by Nickel. Phys. Rev., ser. 2, 33:292-93. Electron Waves. J. Franklin Inst. 208:595-604.

  • Anomalous Dispersion involves a hyperbolic dispersion that is a good approximation for wavelength more than five times the half-width at half maximum of the line absorption profile
