| Abstract | Properties such as high quantum efficiency (QE), low thermal emittance, and longevity are crucial features for the rapidly developing electron accelorators. Compared to the traditional sequential deposition, the co-evaporation method is reported to yield better surface roughness, film crystallinity, and high quantum efficiency for photocath-ode materials. Here we present the effort in upgrading the coherent electron cooling (CeC) photocathode deposition system to adapt the co-evaporation growth method, the development of the co-evaporation recipe, and the prepa-ration of K-Cs-Sb photocathode using the developed system. QE of about 6.3% at wavelength 532 nm was obtained for co-deposited K2CsSb photocathode, where stoichiometry was determined by the deposition rate of each element. The system upgrade also enables the prepa-ration of GaAs photocathodes activating with Cs-Te. In our study, both CsTe and CsTe/CsO activated GaAs are prepared using the “yo-yo” method. QE of about 3.6% and 5% at wavelength 532 nm are obtained respectively. Lifetime measurements are performed and results are reported. |
