  Alkali-antimonides based photocathodes have demonstrated outstanding performance in high brightness electron beam production suitable for a wide range of applications such as FELs, ERLs and UED and for use in photomultiplier devices with picosecond resolution aimed at photon counting application in medicine and High Energy Physics. The photocathode laboratory at Cornell University is dedicated to studying the growth procedures and characterizing the properties in a wide range of photocathodes materials. Different experimental arrangements and alkali metal sources have been successfully explored to date to synthesize photosensitive materials. Recent work on commissioning a new growth chamber equipped with effusion cells loaded with pure metal allowing uniform deposition over large area substrates resulted on successful growth of photocathodes with extended sensitivity in the IR part of the spectrum and high efficiency alkali antimonides containing Rb metal. This and other advances aimed at demonstrating superior photocathodes will be presented.
