BNL ERL needs – 50 mA, 7 mm dia., 1.3 mA/mm2
K2CsSb (Alkali Antimonides)
D. H. Dowell et al., Appl. Phys. Lett., 63, 2035 (1993)C. Ghosh and B.P. Varma, �J. Appl. Phys., 49, 4549 (1978)A.R.H.F. Ettema and R.A. de Groot, Phys. Rev. B 66, 115102 (2002)
Work function 1.9eV, Eg= 1.2 eVGood QE (4% -12% @ 532 nm,
>30% @ 355nm)Deposited in 10-11 Torr vacuum
Typically sequential (Sb->K->Cs); Cs deposition used to optimize QEOxidation to create Cs-O dipoleCo-deposition increases performance in tubes

Conclusions
• Cathodes have better QE on Stainless than on Cu• QE decreases 15% during cathode cool-off• QE at 355 nm is 19%, better than the 10% required• ERL current density has been met (1.3 mA/mm2)• QE does not change in storage (even illuminated)
– Ion bombardment seems to limit lifetime under bias• QE at -77C same as at 20C• Charge density of 1.5x105 C/mm2 extracted from a
small (80 µm fwhm) spot; 15 C extracted from a 3 mm fwhm spot; both with small but measurable QE loss
Thanks!
Deposition Notes• Initial vacuum <0.1 nTorr
– Primary contaminants H2 and Ar• Source to substrate distance of ~45 mm• Antimony and Potassium deposition rates set by
crystal monitor– Crystal monitor to source spacing ~70mm
• QE measured (@ 532 nm) during Cs deposition• Substrate takes 15 min to reach room temperature• QE drops rapidly during this period
– Initial QE decay occurs prior to QE map, so we may miss peak QE

Alkali Sources
• Initial attempts with Saes Getters Chromate sources– Could not obtain evaporation below 10A (should be <6.5A)
• Used Alvasources– Pure Alkali sources, with In seal– Two stage heating cycle– Two geometries – line and V– Ar fill gas produces gas load on initial heating
