Abstract
Abstract Secondary electron multiplier devices having one or more secondary electron emission multiplier elements each consisting essentially of a single-layer cermet coating on a supporting substrate. The coating may be formed by various techniques including flash evaporation, vacuum sputtering, and chemical vapor deposition. Secondary emission ratios of two, three and more are attained with first cross-over voltages in the range from 20 to 40 volts. In applications where optimum temperature stability is required, gold/metal oxide cermets are employed.
