| Abstract | The performance of free-electron lasers depends on the quality of the electron beam used. In some cases this performance can be improved by optimizing the choice of photocathode with respect to emittance. With this in mind, electronic structure calculations have been included in photoemission simulations and used to predict the emittance from single crystal copper photocathodes. The results from different low-index surfaces are reported. Within the model assumptions the Cu(100) surface was identified as having minimal emittance, particularly when illuminated by 266 nm light and extracted in a 60 MV/m gradient. These findings may guide future experimental work, leading to improved machine performance. | |||||
