Negative electron affinity of diamond and its application to high voltage vacuum power switches

This paper reviews the electron emission properties of hydrogen terminated diamond surfaces with a negative electron affinity (NEA), and presents the recent development of 10 kV vacuum switches based on diamond PIN junction electron emitters that utilize such NEA surfaces. The background to this top...
