    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a method of using a photocathode including a laminated heterostructure of Group III - V semiconductors, which is ccnstituted by a p-type light-absorbing layer formed on a p-type substrate and a p-type electron-emitting layer formed on the light-absorbing layer, a first electrode formed to have a rectifying function with respect to the electron-emitting layer, and a second electrode formed in ohmic contact with the substrate, wherein a voltage necessary and sufficient to form a potential gradient throughout the light-absorbing layer is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, thereby accelerating photoelectrons excited in the light-absorbing layer which absorbs external incident light on the basis of an electric field formed in the light-absorbing layer and the electron-emitting layer and emitting the photoelectrons from the electron-emitting layer. The accelerated electrons largely decrease differences in transit time until reaching the emission surface of the electron-emitting layer as compared to diffused electrons. Therefore, the response speed of the photocathode for detecting external incident light is increased.

    Abstract: A photoelectric emission surface which is excellent in stability and reproducibility of photoelectric conversion characteristics and has a structure capable of obtaining a high photosensitivity is provided. A predetermined voltage is applied between an upper surface electrode (15) and a lower surface electrode (17) by a battery (18). Upon application of this voltage, a p-n junction formed between a contact layer (14) and an electron emission layer (13) is reversely biased. A depletion layer extends from the p-n junction into the photoelectric emission surface, and an electric field is formed in the electron emission layer and a light absorbing layer (12) in a direction for accelerating photoelectrons. When incident light is absorbed in the light absorbing layer into excite photoelectrons, the photoelectrons are accelerated by the electric field toward the emission surface. The photoelectrons obtain an energy upon this electric field acceleration, and are transited, in the electron emission layer, to a conduction band at a higher energy level, and emitted into a vacuum.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoelectric surface which is sensitive, even for the light having a wavelength greater than 225nm. SOLUTION: A photoelectric surface is composed of a base board, consisting of Si, polycrystalline diamond 22 formed on the base board and doped with B and N to form an impurity level on the forbidden band, and mono-atomic layer 23 of hydrogen which is coupled with uncoupled carbon at the surface of the diamond 22 and lowers its work function effectively. Accordingly, the impurity elements form an impurity level between a valence electron band and conduction band, so that a sensitivity in the visible region is provided for the light having a wavelength greater than the wavelength corresponding to the energy gap of the polycrystalline diamond 22. Because the polycrystalline diamond with the work function dropped by the mono-atomic layer 23 of hydrogen has a large energy gap, the electron affinity force is easily nullified or becomes negative.
