Abstract
Emission of electrons into vacuum from a forward‐biased Schottky barrier has been demonstrated experimentally. The emitting contact is a thin layer of platinum on n‐type conducting ZnS with the outer surface of the platinum cesiated to reduce its work function. Capacitance and photoemission measurements indicate that the ZnS:Pt barrier height is 2.3 eV. Under forward‐bias emission is observed.Keywords
