Enhanced field emission (EFE) limits the performance of both superconducting and normal conducting high-gradient accelerating structures. Systematic field emission scanning microscopy and correlated SEM/EDX measurements of relevant Nb and Cu samples have revealed particulates and surface irregularities with field enhancement factors b = 10 - 90 as origin of EFE. Based on sufficient emitter statistics, an exponential increase of the emitter number density N with increasing surface field (E) was found. This allows a prediction of the EFE loading of future ILC and CLIC accelerating structures by scaling of N to relevant E and using a weighted integration over the high-field cavity surface. Accordingly, an electropolished (Ra < 300 nm) and dry-ice cleaned (DIC) TESLA-shape 9-cell 1.3 GHz Nb cavity * will still suffer from EFE at Eacc = 35 MV/m (N = 0.3 /cm² at Epeak = 70 MV/m). Moreover, a diamond-turned, chemically etched and DIC 11.2 GHz Cu structure ** will breakdown at Eacc = 100 MV/m (N = 20 /cm² at Epeak = 243 MV/m). Possible improvements, i.e. by emitter processing will be discussed.

  Enhanced field emission (EFE), resulting in dark currents and electric breakdowns, is one of the main gradient limitations for the CLIC accelerating structures (actual design Eacc = 100 MV/m, Epeak = 240 MV/m *). Measurements on diamond-turned, flat (Ra = 158 nm) Cu samples showed first EFE at surface fields Es = 130 MV/m. In order to reduce EFE, we have installed a commercial dry ice cleaning (DIC) system in a clean room environment (class iso 5). Accordingly, the number density of emitters (N) was significantly decreased by DIC from N = 52 /cm² to N = 12 /cm² at Es = 190 MV/m. Furthermore we have tested two diamond-turned and chemically etched (SLAC treatment, Ra = 150 nm) Cu samples after DIC resulting in EFE onset at 230 MV/m. Locally measured I(V) curves of the strongest emitters yielded field enhancement factors b = 10 – 90 (10 – 85) on the diamond-turned (chemically etched), respectively. SEM and EDX investigations of the located emission sites revealed surface defects and few particulates (Al, Ca, Si) as origin of the EFE. Moreover, strong emitter activation effects were observed. A possible breakdown mechanism based on this EFE activation will be discussed.

Molybdenum can be used as a substrate for the bi-alkali antimonide photocathodes utilized for the generation of high brightness electron beams in a superconducting radio frequency (SRF) photoinjector cavities. Operation at high field strength is required to obtain a low emittance beam, thus increasing the probability of field emission (FE) from the cathode surface. Usually, substrates are heated in situ before alkali de- position to remove oxide layers from the surface. FE on Mo substrates was measured by means of a field emission scanning microscope (FESM). It turned out that in situ heat treatment (HT) of the Mo surface significantly changes the FE behaviour by activation of new emitters. For a better understanding of the mechanism for enhanced emission after in situ heating a witness Mo sample was investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
