Abstract

Physical mechanisms of generation of photocurrent carriers in dynodes of secondary-electron multipliers (SEM) in atomic beam tubes (ABT) are considered. It is found out that the most probable mechanism is the electron generation from impurity levels of Co and Ni in MgO crystals contained in dynodes.
