  Multialkali antimonide photocathodes have been shown to be excellent electron sources for a wide range of applications because of high quantum efficiency, low emittance, good lifetime, and fast response. In recent years, synchrotron X-ray methods have been used to study the growth mechanism of K2CsSb photocathodes. The traditional sequential growth of CsK2Sb has been shown to result in rough surface, which will have an adverse impact on the emittance of the electron beam. However, co-evaporation of alkali metals on the evaporated Sb layer and sputter deposition may offer a route to solving the roughness problem. Recent studies on K2CsSb grown by these methods are presented and surface roughness is determined by X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and results are compared.

  In order to generate high brightness and high-current electron beams for BERLinPro, an SRF photoinjector is being developed at HZB. Normal conducting CsK2Sb cathodes will be used due to their high QE at visible wavelengths and fast response time. We report on the commissioning of a preparation and analysis system that allows investigation of the surface and bulk chemical composition of the cathodes using XPS and ion scattering. In addition, the design of an UHV transport system for cathodes is presented.
