Uranium adsorption on the (110), (112), (100), (111), (113) and (116) planes of tungsten field emitter substrates has been studied. Measurements of work function against coverage at 295 K, 950 K and 1120 K were found to be in good agreement with previous contact potential difference and photoelectric measurements. A Topping point dipole depolarization model has been used to determine dipole moments and effective adsorbate polarizabilities. This model is found to be only partially adequate in describing the adsorption process, deviation from the theory being most evident for the (100) plane.
