Caesium telluride or Caesium telluridocaesium[1] is an inorganic salt with a chemical formula Cs2Te.[2] Caesium telluride is used to make photo cathodes.[3]
Caesium telluride is the photoemissive material used in many laser-driven radio frequency (RF) electron guns like in the TESLA Test Facility (TTF).[4]
