摘要: We identify exciton breakup at the surface as dominant source of photoelectron emission from negative electron affinity diamond (111): H for near band gap excitation up to 0.5 eV above threshold. Dependence characteristics upon energy suggests thermalization carriers via a Fan phonon-cascade mechanism.
