Use of energy-filtered photoelectron emission microscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy to visualise work function changes on diamond thin films terminated with oxygen and lithium mono-layers for thermionic energy conversion

Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and energy-filtered photoelectron emission microscopy (EF-PEEM) with vacuum UV (VUV) excitation have been used to study the work function of p-type diamond films treated to exhibit a negative electron affinity (NEA) surface. NEA was generated by a lithium-oxygen...
