Experimental evidence for large negative electron affinity from scandium-terminated diamond
Ramiz Zulkharnay, Paul May
Abstract
Two Sc–diamond (100) and (111) surfaces have the highest negative electron affinity for a metal adsorbed onto bare diamond measured to date, as well as being thermally stable up to 900 °C.
