Further observations on the operation of a GaAs polarized electron source

Abstract: We report on several important features of GaAs polarized electron source operation. Specifically we point out the beneficial effect on crystal lifetime produced by the constant low-level application of cesium from a dispenser embedded in an extraction anode. Using our experience in low-energy polarized electron-atom scattering as a reference, we also discuss the importance of frequent energy calibrations of GaAs electron beams for high-resolution investigations.

“…The source has an emission current of up to 300 p A and polarizations that are typically 26-27 %, as measured by the Mott polarimeter. We estimate the energy resolution of the electron beam to be about 150 meV, comparable to that of similar sources [18]. With the photocathode at -2000 V, a ''stiff' beam is provided for transport through the various valves and the Mott polarimeter before entering the target chamber.…”

“…We determined the energy spread of the electron beam in separate measurements (Guo et al 1990) of the atomic ionisation rate (hydrogen source RF turned on) between 13.67 and 13.87 eV. Assuming a Gaussian energy distribution (which is only approximately correct), we generated a set of convoluted cross section curves based upon the Wannier power law (Wannier 1953) and various Gaussian widths.…”
