abstract = "The diamond amplified photocathode has the potential to dramatically increase the average current available from photoinjectors, perhaps to the ampere-class performance necessary for flux-competitive fourth-generation light sources. Electron emission from a diamond amplifier has been observed from hydrogen-terminated diamond, using either photons or electrons to generate carriers. An emission gain of 40 has been achieved using a thermionic cathode and a gain of 6 from amplification of electrons from a photocathode. Very high average current densities (<10 A/cm2) have been transported through the diamond using x-ray generated carriers. The electron affinity of hydrogen-terminated diamond has been measured to be about -1.1 eV.",
