| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is investigated that the cesium-antimony (Cs-Sb) thin film is utilized as functional layer of photocathode to realize long lifetime of photocathode by using of III-V semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs). In order to optimize the functional film, the thermal treatment and the film thickness of the cathode substrate were searched. As a result, the thermal treatment is performed at a temperature at which oxide desorption is observed, and the film thickness of 1 nm, which is relatively thin, is optimum for the functional film. It was found that the Cs-Sb film, which lowers the surface potential, even if it is thin, is a compound, heterojunction to the substrate.
