Abstract Re­cently, thermionic cath­ode ma­te­ri­als such as LaB6, Ir5Ce and dis­penser cath­odes have been also used as pho­to­cath­ode since they have low work func­tion, rea­son­ably high quan­tum ef­fi­ciency, and long life­time*,**. How­ever, the ef­fect of cath­ode tem­per­a­ture and laser wave­length on quan­tum ef­fi­ciency is known only for lim­ited con­di­tions. Al­though it is ex­pected to be able to lengthen the re­quired wave­length of pho­to­cath­ode drive laser by heat­ing cath­odes, laser with pho­ton en­ergy under the work func­tion has not been tested. Re­veal­ing them en­ables us to de­sign the cost min­i­mum ac­cel­er­a­tors. In this re­search, pho­toe­mis­sion prop­er­ties of LaB6 and CeB6 with var­i­ous ex­ci­ta­tion pho­ton en­er­gies will be in­ves­ti­gated under var­i­ous tem­per­a­tures of the ma­te­ri­als. Those ma­te­ri­als have sim­i­lar work func­tion, but CeB6 have one order of mag­ni­tude smaller Richard­son con­stant than LaB6***. By com­par­ing pho­toe­mis­sion prop­er­ties of these ma­te­ri­als, im­pact of Richard­son con­stant on the pho­toe­mis­sion prop­er­ties will be in­ves­ti­gated.
