"A theory has been developed for the temperature dependence of the work functions of monovalent metals which predicts major contributions from thermal vibrations and thermal expansion. The former has been calculated from the velocities of elastic waves making some allowance for anisotropy and dispersion, the result is only approximate for the alkali metals because of uncertain elastic constants; the latter has been calculated from the cohesive energy and consequently is more accurate for sodium and potassium than for copper and silver." --
