We found monochromatic electron photoemission from large-area
Abstract:
self-assembled monolayers of a functionalized diamondoid,
[121]tetramantane-6-thiol. Photoelectron spectra of the diamondoid
monolayers exhibited a peak at the low–kinetic energy threshold; up to
68% of all emitted electrons were emitted within this single energy
peak. The intensity of the emission peak is indicative of diamondoids
being negative electron affinity materials. With an energy distribution
width of less than 0.5 electron volts, this source of monochromatic
electrons may find application in technologies such as electron
microscopy, electron beam lithography, and field-emission flat-panel
displays.
