Abstract :
Results are presented on the photo-induced electron emission from nitrogen doped diamond films prepared on doped silicon substrates. In contrast to results for films on metal substrates, a significant increase of emission intensity was observed at elevated temperatures. The results suggest a contribution from photon enhanced thermionic emission.
