摘要:
This study reports UV‐photoemission (UPS) measurements made on boron nitride crystals and thin films. The materials examined are commercial gradec‐BN powder and thin films of BN deposited with ion beam assisted e‐beam evaporation and laser ablation. The thin film samples examined exhibited varying amounts ofsp3(cubic) andsp2(hexagonal, amorphous) bonding as determined by FTIR measurements. The UPS measurements displayed the spectral distribution of the low energy photoemitted electrons and the total energy width of the spectra. These characteristics can be related to the electron affinity. The measurements on several of the BN powder and thin film samples revealed features in the emission spectra which are indicative of a negative electron affinity (NEA) surface. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
