    Abstract: We successfully developed a new transmission-type GaAs/GaAsP strained superlattice photocathode with an AlGaAs transparent inter-layer and Si3N4 anti-reflection coating. The electrons emitted from this photocathode showed a high spin polarization of 90% with a quantum efficiency as high as 0.4%. In the application for spin-polarized low energy elec... Show More
