Which phenomenon increases when metallic work functions are lowered?

💡 Explanation

Thermionic emission increases exponentially as the material's work function decreases because the Boltzmann distribution predicts more electrons have sufficient energy to overcome the surface potential barrier through *thermoelectric effect*. therefore it increases the current, rather than affecting bulk magnetic or transport properties under standard conditions.
