摘要
Investigation of the photoelectric yield characteristics of the negative electron affinity NEA (100) diamond surface (produced by hydrogen plasma exposure) finds a striking similarity to the emission from NEA (111) diamond surfaces. Work on NEA diamond (111) surfaces has revealed the important role (sometimes dominant) of photoexcited excitons in the photoelectric yield. Comparison of the electron emission properties among surfaces with different crystallographic orientations can give further insight into electron emission mechanisms. We find that the kinetic energy distribution, the photon energy dependence of photoelectric yield, and the photon energy dependence of constant final state measurements of NEA (100) diamond are characteristically similar to the emission from NEA (111) diamond surfaces. Observed differences appear related to the change in band bending at the surface.
