Recent investigations have shown that it is possible to obtain an order of magnitude smaller intrinsic emittance from photocathodes by precise atomic scale control of the surface, using an appropriate electronic band structure of single crystal cathodes and cryogenically cooling the cathode. Investigating the performance of such cathodes requires atomic scale surface diagnostic techniques connected in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) to the epitaxial thin film growth and surface preparation systems and photo-emission and photocathode diagnostic techniques. Here we report the capabilities and design of the laboratory being built at the Arizona State University for this purpose. The lab houses a 200 kV DC gun with a cryogenically cooled cathode along with a beam diagnostics and ultra fast electron diffraction beamline. The cathode of the gun can be transported in UHV to a suite of UHV growth chambers and surface and photoemission diagnostic techniques.

Intrinsic emittance of photocathodes limits the brightness of electrons beams produced from photoemission guns. Recent advancements have shown that an order of magnitude improvement in intrinsic emittance over the commonly used polycrystalline metal and semiconductor cathodes is possible via use of single crystalline ordered surfaces of metals, semiconductors and other exotic materials at cryogenic temperatures as cathodes. However, due to practical design considerations, it is not trivial to test such cathodes in existing electron guns. Here we present the design of a 200kV DC electron gun being developed at the Arizona State University for this purpose.

  Alkali-antimonide photocathodes have a very high quantum efficiency and a low intrinsic emittance, making them excellent electron sources for Energy Recovery Linacs, X-ray Free Electron Lasers, Electron Cooling, and Ultrafast Electron Diffraction applications. Despite numerous studies of their photoemission spectra, there has been nearly no conclusive experimental investigation of their basic electronic and optical properties (e.g. band gap, electron affinity, optical constants, etc.), which determine the nature of photoemission. Therefore, the systematic study and deep understanding of fundamental characteristics of alkali-antimonide photocathodes are required in order to develop next-generation electron sources with improved crystal and electronic structures to fit specific application. Here we report on the development of an experimental setup to measure photoluminescence (PL) spectra from alkali-antimonide photocathodes, enabling estimation of a material band gap and defect state energies, and provide preliminary results for Cs3Sb films.
