Abstract
Recently developed 3-5 compound semiconductor photocathodes show promise of substantial advantages over conventional photocathodes in increased yield and longer wavelength response. This paper reviews the physical principles of operation, preparation, and activation of these new types of photocathode. Also discussed are current fabrication techniques, problem areas, practical difficulties, and operating characteristics of experimental cathodes.
