  • Abstract
    CsI films are known to be efficient photoconvertors, intensively investigated for UV-photon imaging devices. The article reviews the production and characterization techniques of CsI photocathodes and their photoemission properties in vacuum and gas media, in charge collection and multiplication modes. The important roles of surface phenomena, gas and electric fields are described. The stability of the films is discussed.
