Electron Emission from a Thin Film IV - VI Compound Semiconductor.

Abstract

The emission properties of thin film tin-oxide cold cathodes are reported. Indications of the relative effect of doping concentrations and thickness on emission properties are also included. Empirical analysis of the emission data is made and utilized to indicate the possible emission mechanism. Based on the results obtained during the course of this study, comments are given on this emitter's potential as a practical cold cathode for low and medium power microwave tubes. (Author)
