Abstract: (arXiv)
The emission properties of PbTe(111) single crystal have been extensively investigated to demonstrate that PbTe(111) is a promising low root mean square transverse momentum ({\Delta}p) and high brightness photocathode. The density functional theory (DFT) based photoemission analysis successfully elucidates that the 'hole-like' {\Lambda} energy band in the valley with low effective mass results in low {\Delta}p. Especially, as a 300K solid planar photocathode, Te-terminated PbTe(111) single crystal is expected to be a potential 50K electron source.Note:
