An investigation of secondary electron emission from ZnO based nanomaterials for future applications in radiation detectors

Abstract This paper discusses the use of nanomaterials for the improved performance of time-of-flight particle detectors based on secondary electron emission (SEE). The purpose of the research presented in this paper is to find a nanomaterial that has a higher SEE than gold. In this article, we pres...
