dc.description.abstract	Light is emitted from gold particle electron tunnel junctions operated at room temperature. The junctions are constructed by evaporating gold particles onto an oxidized aluminum film. Up to 3.7 volts are applied to a junction causing electrons to tunnel from the aluminum film through the insulating oxide barrier into the small gold particles. Emitted light has strong polarized and weak unpolarized components. The angular distribution and intensity versus photon energy of the polarized component are in agreement with recent theoretical $calculations^{1}$ based on the excitation and radiative decay of surface plasmons in a small metal particle located above a metal film.	en_US
