Two different photocathodes (PCs) based on nanodiamonds (NDs) have been realized at the MWPECVD Laboratory of CNR-NANOTEC of Bari. Each PC consisted of layers of untreated or hydrogenated ND particles of 250 nm deposited on p-doped silicon substrate by means of pulsed spray technique. The quantum efficiency (QE) of the cathodes has been assessed at the UV wavelength of a KrF laser i.e. 248 nm. The laser energy used for the irradiation ranged from 10-3 to 10-2 J/cm2. The ND photocathodes exhibited QE values higher than those shown by conventional Cu ones

Abstract

Two different photocathodes (PCs) based on nanodiamonds (NDs) have been realized at the MWPECVD Laboratory of CNR-NANOTEC of Bari. Each PC consisted of layers of untreated or hydrogenated ND particles of 250 nm deposited on p-doped silicon substrate by means of pulsed spray technique. The quantum efficiency (QE) of the cathodes has been assessed at the UV wavelength of a KrF laser i.e. 248 nm. The laser energy used for the irradiation ranged from 10-3 to 10-2 J/cm2. The ND photocathodes exhibited QE values higher than those shown by conventional Cu ones
