摘要
This work presents an investigation of the photoemission properties of niobium. The quantum efficiency (QE) of niobium cathodes was measured for a variety of surface preparations relevant to the operation of a superconducting injector. The dependence of the QE on wavelength, applied field, and laser cleaning energy was determined. The three-step model of photoemission was adapted to fit the observed emission behavior. QE values of 6.5x10(-5) for 266 nm, 1.0x10(-4) for 248 nm, and 2.8x10(-4) for 193 nm were observed with a bias field of 1 MV/m. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
