S 20 photocathodes grown by molecular - beam deposition
نویسنده
چکیده
S20 photocathodes have been grown by solid-source molecular-beam deposition (MBD). The unactivated absorbing layer exhibits a maximum response of 29 mA/W at 430 nm while the photocathode shows a sensitivity and a quantum efficiency of 74 mA/W and 22% at 430 nm. This corresponds to a white sensitivity of 200 mA/lm which is already comparable to commercial S20 photocathodes. In addition, the MBD fabrication cycle takes five times less time than the actual industrial process.

Development of GaN photocathodes for UV detectors
We have made substantial progress in the development of GaN photocathodes, including crystalline and polycrystalline GaN and InGaN coatings grown by chemical vapor deposition or molecular beam epitaxy on sapphire substrates. GaN and InGaN photocathodes have been developed with efficiencies up to 70% and cutoffs at 380 nm with low out of band response, and high stability and longevity. Samples h...
متن کاملDeep level defects in n-type GaN grown by molecular beam epitaxy
Deep-level transient spectroscopy has been used to characterize electronic defects in n-type GaN grown by reactive molecular-beam epitaxy. Five deep-level electronic defects were observed, with activation energies E150.23460.006, E250.57860.006, E350.65760.031, E450.96160.026, and E550.24060.012 eV. Among these, the levels labeled E1 , E2 , and E3 are interpreted as corresponding to deep levels...

Alkali antimonide photocathodes are a strong contender for the cathode of choice for next-generation photon sources such as LCLS II or the XFEL. These materials have already found extensive use in photodetectors and image intensifiers. However, only recently have modern synchrotron techniques enabled a systematic study of the formation chemistry of these materials. Such analysis has led to the ...

Strong broad photoluminescence similar to that observed in some materials grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been observed in Si/Si, -,Ge,/Si quantum wells grown by chemical vapor deposition. As grown, the samples exhibited SiGe band-edge phonon-resolved bound-exciton luminescence, but after being self-implanted with silicon and annealed at 600 “C, a deep broad luminescence band 80-100 m...
