Scientists from Altay Technical University and the Institute of Nuclear Physics have developed an innovative technology for creating photocathodes. These devices are used in accelerators that play an important role in science, medicine and industry.
Their method involves changing the surface of the photocathode, which increases the area from which electrons are ejected. This also increases the electric field, which accelerates the electrons. This approach increases the efficiency of photocathodes, making them more efficient.
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon used in electron accelerators. Photocathodes illuminated by lasers create the necessary conditions for this effect. Scientists have already created experimental photocathode samples from a special material, and these will be used in new electron accelerators being developed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics.
