Surface studies of p-GaN:Cs photocathodes with in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)

Schaber, J.

Higher beam currents and brightness are desired, therefore new photocathodes with higher QE are required.
p-type GaN can produce a negative electron affinity (NEA) surface when cesium is deposited on it.
A thermal cleaning under vacuum was carried out to achieve an atomically clean surface before the Cs deposition.
