Photocathode with nanowire and method of producing such photocathode

摘要

The present invention discloses a photocathode containing an amorphous substrate such as a glass substrate 110 having an input face for receiving incident photons and a back face opposite the input face. The nanowire 120 made of at least one III-V semiconductor material is deposited on the backside of the substrate and extends in a direction away from the front surface. The present invention also relates to a method for producing MBE of such photocathode.
