A Cs-free GaN photocathode structure is reported, in which band engineering induced by Si doping eliminates the need for Cs activation, resulting in a low-barrier surface without activation.
Conventional negative electron affinity photocathodes require alternate activation of Cs/O, and the instability of Cs makes the cathode surface easily inactive. A Cs-free GaN photocathode structure is reported, in which band engineering of the photocathode surface induced by Si doping eliminates the need to use Cs for photocathode activation. This heterojunction structure can obtain a low-barrier surface without activation. GaN nanowires with n-type capping layers are established using first principles, and their stability, work function, and optoelectronic structures are analyzed. Si atoms replace Ga atoms more easily, thereby forming an n-type capping layer. The formation energy of the n-type capping layer of the nanowires surface is lower than that of the surface capping layer of the thin film. The addition of the n-type capping layer reduces the work function of the GaN surface, which will help to enhance photoemission capability. The results clearly illustrate the positive effect of the n-type capping layer on the electronic properties of the device, so this Cs-free activation structure can be further considered.
