Photoemissive materials: preparation, properties, and uses

PHOTOEMISSIVE MATERIALS Preparation, Properties, and Uses is the first book devoted to photo-emissive materials. The author uses his long personal experience in the field to bring together and present in-formation previouslyscattered through professional journals. This book emphasizes the physical and chemical properties of photoemissive materials and the techniques used in forming photocathodes. Theoretical aspects of photoemission are dealt with qualitatively, and as they relate to the more practical material in the book. This is a vital book for all who use or make photoemissive devices, and an indispensable reference on photo-emissive materials. CONTENTS: Fundamental Aspects of Photoelectric Emission, Photoemission from Metals, Technology of Photocathode Preperation, Semiconducting Photoemitters (Intro), The Cesium-Antimony Photocathode, Other Monoalali Antimonide Photocatodes, Multiakali Antimonide Photocathides, Multialkali Antimonide Photocathodes, Summary of Monalkali and Multialkali Photocathode Properties, The Silver-Oxygen-Cesium (S-1) Photocathode, The Bismuth-Cesium and the Bismuth-Silver-Oxygen-Cesium Photocathodes, Photoemissive Materials with High Quantum Yield in the Ultraviolet, Miscellaneous Semiconducting Photoemitters, Photoemissive Materials for Practical Applications
