Abstract:We report on the growth and characterization of a new class of photocathode structures for application as electron sources to produce high brightness electron beams for accelerator applications. The sources are realized using III-Nitride materials and are designed to leverage the strong polarization field characteristic of this class material while grown in their wurtzite crystal structure to produce a negative electron affinity condition without the use of Cs, possibly allowing these materials to be operated … Show more
