Abstract

In this paper we review simply the surface models. These models have several technical problems not solved appropriately except for having deficiency themselves. So we present a new negative electron affinity (NEA) photocathode photoelectric emission model: [GaAs (Zn): Cs]: O - Cs. After discussing photocathodes activation technique on the model, we design a activation technique, which increases the Cs current to decrease the first peak in appropriate degree after using smaller Cs current to achieve the first peak of photoemission (GaAs (Zn)-Cs dipole layer), then set out Cs-O alternation and do not end the technique until gaining maximal photoemission (Cs-O-Cs dipole layer), in the photocathodes with GaAs (Zn) (100)2×4 reconstruction surface. In the present material configuration and level of technique, it is difficult that the integral sensitivity of cathode excess 3500 μA/lm. However, it is likely to excess 4000 μA/lm by varied doping As-rich GaAs (Zn) (100)2×4 reconstruction surface.
