Description

We have investigated several properties that effect the physical growth and reproducibility of PVD CsI photocathode material particularly used as a coating for microchannel plates (MCPs) to improve soft X-ray sensitivity. We have measured the quantum efficiency of the CsI-coated microchannel plates in response to X-rays from 0.7 to 4.5 keV. (orig.)
