SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the quantum efficiency (QE) of Molybdenum and Tellurium for 5 eV photons, specifically seeking published data to validate experimental values. The original poster references an old paper discussing QE for 250 nm photons and expresses difficulty in finding reliable sources for the 5 eV measurements. Participants are encouraged to provide citations for any relevant findings to assist in clarifying the discrepancies in the data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum efficiency in photonic materials
  • Familiarity with Molybdenum and Tellurium properties
  • Knowledge of photon energy measurements and their significance
  • Experience with academic research and citation practices
NEXT STEPS
  • Research published papers on the quantum efficiency of Molybdenum at various photon energies
  • Investigate the quantum efficiency of Tellurium for 5 eV photons
  • Explore experimental methodologies for measuring quantum efficiency
  • Review literature on the significance of photon energy in material science
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in material science, physicists studying photonic properties, and anyone involved in the experimental analysis of quantum efficiency in metals.

Hi Everyone,

I need a big favor for those of you willing to do a bit of hunting.

I have a rather old paper that cites the quantum efficiency (or quantum yield) of Molybdenum and Tellurium for 250 nm photons. I also have experimental values for those two. They just don't make any sense to me.

The favor you can do for me is to find the QE for both of them at that photon energy (~5 eV). If you can give me the citation on the source, I'd appreciate it very much. My hunt on various sites to double check these values haven't turned out anything worthwhile.

Thanks!

Thanks Gokul. That might help in the comparison. However, I still need something that has been published. So keep it coming if something else pops up.
