More Information
Summary:This invention relates to an improvement of a reflection mode alkali photocathode which relies on controlling a deposition weight of antimony. The reflection mode alkali photocathode according to this invention includes a thin layer of antimony directly deposited on a base substrate and activated by alkali metals. The thin film of antimony is deposited in a thickness of below 100 mu g/cm . This reflection mode photocathode is suitably usable in photomultipliers. As the base substrate, nickel, aluminium and stainless, etc. are used. As the alkali metals, cesium, potassium, sodium and rubidium are usable.
