Description

Photocathodes capable of producing spin polarized electrons beams are required for both high energy and nuclear physics experiments. In this work, we describe in detail the commissioning of a new apparatus for photocathode characterization which includes a retarding field Mott polarimeter for the measure of photoelectron spin polarization. We will illustrate the design of superlattice structures equipped with Distributed Bragg Reflector and present the measurements of spin polarization and quantum efficiency of emitted electrons from these structures.
