ac detection of secondary photoelectrons

A current channeltron whose anode is biased at positive high voltage is used in conjunction with a lock‐in amplifier to measure secondary photoelectron emission. The detector has good sensitivity, noise rejection, and produces surface x‐ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra with low noise‐to‐...

Zusammenfassung:A current channeltron whose anode is biased at positive high voltage is used in conjunction with a lock‐in amplifier to measure secondary photoelectron emission. The detector has good sensitivity, noise rejection, and produces surface x‐ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra with low noise‐to‐signal ratios. The need to modulate the photoelectron emission current can be exploited to limit the detection of photoelectrons to the sample.
