Panitz|year=1998|title=Nanoscale imaging of the electronic tunneling barrier at a metal surface|journal=Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B|volume=16|issue=1|pages=23–29|issn=1071-1023|doi=10.1116/1.589787] for nanoscale mapping of work function variations on a metal surface. J. A. Panitz discovered the field-adsorption phenomenon [cite journal|last=Müller|first=Erwin W.|authorlink=Erwin Müller|coauthors=S. Brooks McLane, John A. Panitz|year=1969|title=Field adsorption and desorption of helium and neon|journal=Surface Science|volume=17|issue=2|pages=430–438|issn=0039-6028|doi=10.1016/0039-6028(69)90110-1] . His research interests focus on the binding of biological molecules to metals and semiconductors in aqueous environments; field-ionization; field electron emission tunneling phenomena, and field ionization of liquid metals.
