Secondary-electron-emission current measured from high-purity, single-crystal CVD diamond is found to increase when 3.1-eV photons are incident on the hydrogenated surface. Energy spectra indicate that the sub-gap illumination causes the band levels to shift in the bulk, thereby reducing the upwards band bending at the pinned surface.
Quantum Efficiency from photocathodes and Yield from diamond secondary emitters are affected by scattering during electron transport in bulk material. The emission distribution is required to predict how current density and emittance from these sources affect beam transport in Particle-in-Cell codes, particularly MICHELLE. Monte Carlo is used to augment a standard Three-Step-Model (TSM) based model...
A diamond current amplifier is being developed that can be biased to generate an internal electric field needed for high transport efficiency and emission gain. In the process, a bonded diamond structure has been successfully fabricated that provides mechanical support for the microns-thick diamond film and that allows for the use of processing techniques needed to fabricate the biased device. Emission...
Electron transport through thin film semiconductors is common to both the development of semiconductor photocathodes and to secondary emission electron sources. We discuss the modeling and numerical simulation of such transport in the presence of scattering and loss mechanisms, to enable predictive estimations of energy distributions, time response, and the nature of the distribution of the emitted...
Secondary-electron-emission measurements are used to examine the transport and emission characteristics of an 8.3-micron-thick diamond amplifier film. Superior transport and emission properties are confirmed for the single-crystal CVD diamond compared to previously-studied polycrystalline diamond. In particular, low-energy secondary electrons are emitted from the conduction band even after diffusing...
