INVESTIGATION OF SEMICONDUCTOR SCHOTTKY BARRIERS FOR OPTICAL DETECTION AND CATHODIC EMISSION

Abstract

This is the final report of a one-year project to explore two new applications of metal-semiconductor diodes. The phenomena investigated are cathodic emission into vacuum and photoemission into semiconductors. They are intended, respectively, to be the basis of the development of cold cathodes and infrared photo-detectors.
