(author)The (secondary) electron emission from multilayered Al2O3/TiN membranes has been investigated with a hemispherical collector system in a scanning electron microscope for electrons with energies between 0.3 and 10 keV. These ultra-thin membranes are designed to function as transmission dynodes in novel vacuum electron multipliers. Two...journal article 2021

(author)Large-area transmission dynodes were fabricated by depositing an ultra-thin continuous film on a silicon wafer with a 3-dimensional pattern. After removing the silicon, a corrugated membrane with enhanced mechanical properties was formed. Mechanical metamaterials, such as this corrugated membrane, are engineered to improve its strength and...journal article 2022

(author)In this work we demonstrate that ultra-thin (5 and 15 nm) MgO transmission dynodes with sufficient high transmission electron yield (TEY) can be constructed. These transmission dynodes act as electron amplification stages in a novel vacuum electron multiplier: the Timed Photon Counter. The ultra-thin membranes with a diameter of 30 μm are...journal article 2023
