Abstract: An electron-beam scanning system for investigating the nonuniformity of (1) he work function, (2) the position of the conduction-band edge with respect to the Fermi level, and (3) the electron affinity at the surface of a single-crystal semiconductor. A small-diameter, low-energy electron beam is scanned over the surface to be investigated. The current collected by the surface for electron energies in the retarding-field region is related to the work function of the surface, whereas the current collected by the surface for electron energies in the accelerating-field region is related to the position of the conduction-band edge. The electron affinity is related to the combination of these relationships. Variations in the current collected by the surface for appropriately selected electron energies are used to provide a visual display of variations in these quantities.

Abstract: A method which utilizes low-energy electron reflections to determine the ctron affinity and to simultaneously locate the position of the conduction-band edge with respect to the Fermi level at the surface of a single-crystal semiconductor. A beam of very-low-energy electrons (<10eV) is directed onto the surface of the semiconductor and the reflection pattern (beam energy v. current collected by the semiconductor) is analyzed using a kinematical approximation for the interference phenomena.

Abstract: An improved technique for forming an electron emitting cathode of iridium d similar noble metals. A mixture of powders including a matrix material of one of the noble metals and a pore forming material of silver is shaped into a cathode configuration and sintered at a temperature sufficient to evaporate the silver, thereby producing a porous matrix. The matrix is impregnated with an active material and dried to produce a cathode having increased electron emission characteristics allowing operation at lower temperatures for longer time periods.
