MCP:Electrode Materials

The electrodes in a microchannel plate (MCP) are formed on the surfaces of the MCP to allow for the application of a voltage, which creates an electric field that accelerates electrons through the channels. The electrodes are processed to have a surface resistance of 100 Ω to 200 Ω across both edges of the MCP surface.

Materials can be used for MCP electrodes:

• Nickel-Chromium (NiCr): This material is commonly used for electrodes in MCPs fabricated.
