摘要：

We describe the experimental energy response of a negative electron affinity (NEA) III-V photocathode to x rays with energies from ∼0.8 to ∼3 keV. Energy resolutions, E/ΔE, from ∼1 to ∼3 are obtained, together with ∼100% quantum efficiency. Theoretical calculations based on an electron diffusion model are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental results. The use of NEA III-V photocathodes as efficient soft x-ray detectors with good energy and spatial resolution is discussed for imaging applications in x-ray astronomy.
