I'm not certain if the General Physics section of this forum is the place where this question will receive any attention, but here's to hoping!
I am trying to identify a way in which one could accurately calculate which compound or element would serve as the ideally effective material for a photocathode, in terms of current produced. To avoid any referrals to another website, I already understand which materials are commonly used in many modern phototubes. What I am curious about is if there is a common and consistent method through which one could identify other materials that could be potentially used for attaining sensitivity to a particular range of wavelengths.
Any help is greatly appreciated. :)
