Photo Electron Emission Microscopy of Polarity-patterned Materials Photo Electron Emission Microscopy of Polarity-patterned Materials
This study presents variable photon energy photo electron emission microscopy (PEEM) of polarity-patterned epitaxial GaN films, and ferroelectric LiNbO3 (LNO) single crystals and PbZrTiO3 (PZT) thin films. The photo electrons were excited with spontaneous emission from the tunable UV free electron laser (FEL) at Duke University. We report PEEM observation of polarity contrast and measurement of...
متن کاملElectron emission from porous silicon planar emitters
Porous silicon planar emitters were fabricated by depositing a thin Au film on a conventional porous Si and their emission characteristics were examined. The emission currents and energy distributions were measured for the emitters with various Au thicknesses and for cesiated ones. The experimental results suggest that the emission mechanism of the porous silicon emitter studied in this work is...
متن کاملImaging electron emission from diamond and III–V nitride surfaces with photo-electron emission microscopy
Ž . Wide bandgap semiconductors such as diamond and the III–V nitrides GaN, AlN, and AlGaN alloys exhibit small or even negative electron affinities. Results have shown that different surface treatments will modify the electron affinity of Ž . diamond to cause a positive or negative electron affinity NEA . This study describes the characterization of these surfaces Ž . with photo-electron emiss...
متن کاملField - Free and Field - Stimulated Electron Emission from Solids
Electron irradiation of solids produces a backemission of secondary electrons (energies between 0 and 50 eV) and re ected primaries (energies between 50 eV and that of the incident beam). For insulators, it is shown that an externally applied positive electric eld penetrating into the solid material, energizes electrons generated by the primary irradiation and enables them to travel back to the...
متن کاملFunctionalized silicon nanoparticles from reactive cavitation erosion of silicon wafers.
A new sonochemical process for the top-down production of silicon nanoparticles (<1 nm) with surface functional groups is described. The procedure involves a combination of acoustic cavitation erosion of a single-crystalline silicon surface coupled with simultaneous reaction with a reactive organic compound such as 1-hexyne. The sonochemical formation of the photoluminescent silicon nanoparticl...
