Abstract

The alkali antimonides are of significant interest to the accelerator community, as they have a high quantum efficiency (QE) under illumination by green light. These cathodes are attractive for high-average-current photoinjector applications and understanding their fundamental properties are critical to the production of long lived, reliable cathodes. We report on ongoing work to characterize cathode formation during growth. In-situ X-ray Diffraction (XRD) has been used to compare grain size and texture in antimony layers, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to investigate the solid-state chemistry of cathode formation.
