Rugged spin-polarized electron sources based on negative electron affinity GaAs photocathode with robust Cs ₂ Te coating

Journal Article Bae, Jai Kwan ; Cultrera, Luca ; DiGiacomo, Philip ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Photocathodes capable of providing high intensity and highly spin-polarized electron beams with long operational lifetimes are of great interest for the next generation nuclear physics facilities like Electron Ion Colliders. Here, we report on GaAs photocathodes activated by Cs ₂Te, a material well known for its robustness. GaAs activated by Cs ₂Te forms Negative Electron Affinity, and the lifetime for extracted charge is improved by a factor of 5 compared to that of GaAs activated by Cs and O ₂. The spin polarization of photoelectrons was measured using a Mott polarimeter and found to be independent from the activation method,more »« less

Advanced Strained-Superlattice Photocathodes for Polarized Electron Sources

Technical Report Dr. Aaron Moy

Polarized electrons have been essential for high-energy parity-violating experiments and measurements of the nucleon spin structure. The availability of a polarized electron beam was crucial to the success of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) in achieving a precise measurement of the electroweak mixing angle, and polarized electron beams will be required for all future linear colliders. Polarized electrons are readily produced by GaAs photocathode sources. When a circularly polarized laser beam tuned to the bandgap minimum is directed to the negative-electron-affinity (NEA) surface of a GaAs crystal, longitudinally polarized electrons are emitted into vacuum. The electron polarization is easily reversedmore »« less

Polarized photoelectrons from optically magnetized semiconductors

Conference Garwin, E.L. ; Pierce, D.T. ; Siegmann, H.C.

Electrons excited from the top of the spin-orbit-split valence band to the bottom of the conduction band by circularly polarized light are known to be spin polarized in materials such as GaSb and GaAs. By application of alternating layers of Cs and O/sub 2/ to GaAs, a negative electron affinity surface can be produced which permits electrons from the conduction band minimum to escape into vacuum, where we propose to measure their polarization by Mott scattering. Because of the high efficiency of negative electron affinity photoemitters, and the simplicity of electron production without applied magnetic fields, an electron source ofmore »« less
Testing a GaAs cathode in SRF gun

Conference Wang, E. ; Kewisch, J. ; Ben-Zvi, I. ; ...

RF electron guns with a strained superlattice GaAs cathode are expected to generate polarized electron beams of higher brightness and lower emittance than do DC guns, due to their higher field gradient at the cathode's surface and lower cathode temperature. We plan to install a bulk GaAs:Cs in a SRF gun to evaluate the performance of both the gun and the cathode in this environment. The status of this project is: In our 1.3 GHz 1/2 cell SRF gun, the vacuum can be maintained at nearly 10{sup -12} Torr because of cryo-pumping at 2K. With conventional activation of bulk GaAs,more »« less
