Abstract

We have studied the process of electron-stimulated desorption (ESD) of Cs atoms from a Cs/CsAu/Au/W system. It is established that ESD takes place from a Cs adlayer and the adjacent CsAu layer of this system. A model of Cs atom desorption from the Cs/CsAu/Au/W system is proposed. The results confirm the semiconductor nature of CsAu compounds.
