The Na2KSb photocathode has a longer threshold wavelength than the K2CsSb photocathode. This contradicts the general experience that cathode materials containing Cs tend to have longer threshold wavelengths. An attempt is made to explain this contradiction in terms of the energy-band models for the two materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
