A calculation is presented which predicts the effect of an inelastic interaction between field‐emitted electrons and adsorbed molecules at a metal–vacuum interface. The derivative of the total energy distribution of the field‐emission current should yield information on the infrared absorption spectra of the adsorbed molecules. A numerical estimate of the size of the effect indicates that changes on the order of 1% of the total current should occur.
