摘要: A photocathode electron source using p-type GaN and InGaN semiconductors with a negative affinity (NEA) surface has been studied for its ability to maintain an extended NEA state. The key technology of NEA photocathodes is the formation electric dipoles by atoms on surface, which makes it possible photo excited electrons in conduction band minimum escape into vacuum. This means that order keep electron energy spread as small possible, excitation photon energy should be tuned gap energy. However, the NEA damaged adsorption residual gas back-bombardment ionized by photoelectrons. were measured lifetime quantum yield excitation energy corresponding comparison GaAs conventional photocathode. Lifetime NEA-photocathodes 21 times 7.7 longer respectively than that using GaAs.
