AbstractSTFC Daresbury laboratory has developed a suite of analysis equipment for characterisation of photocathode materials. This includes the TESS spectrometer for measuring the mean transverse energy* and a multiprobe surface analysis system for measuring the chemical and physical properties of samples**. Recently, the multiprobe system has been upgraded to include a monochromated X-ray source which in conjunction with the high-resolution analyser should produce improved ability to resolve the chemical state of surface constituent atomic species. This could be particularly useful in the analysis of telluride and antimonide cathodes where incomplete reaction of the constituent species could significantly influence performance. The atomic force microscope has also been recommissioned giving access to surface topological information in the same vacuum environment. Finally, a new sample deposition chamber has been added which will allow additional deposition sources to be attached thus broadening the range of photocathode research that can be carried out.
