Hi,

I am working on a problem that requires a gas that has an ionization
energy around 4.5 eV. It's boiling point must be lower than room
temperature (20C), and preferable lower than -60C.

Any suggestions on what to use? or places to look for a solution for
this one?

Thanks

I see that Cesium has an ionization voltage lower than 5V, but has a
boiling point of about 700C. Does anyone know where a table is that
shows the boiling point VS pressure for Cesium? I may be able to
elevate the pressure.

Thanks
