INVESTIGATION OF HOT ELECTRON EMITTER.
Abstract
The attenuation length of hot electrons in platinum was studied by the photoelectric method using Pt-Si Schottky barriers. The hot electron attenuation length in these films is equal to or less than 120A. The resistivity of these Pt films is in the range of 20 to 30 microhm-cm, indicating that the films may contain a sufficient density of structural defects to influence the hot electron attenuation length. Rhodium-silicon Schottky barriers were made which exhibit a barrier height of 0.78 volts. The barriers show no degradation during vacuum heating at temperatures as high as 600C. (Author)
