Abstract
The superconducting RF photoinjector (SRF Gun II) has successfully served for the ELBE user facility at HZDR. The quality of photocathodes is one of the most critical issues in improving the stability and reliability for its application. Mg has a comparably low work function and shows quantum efficiency up to 0.3% after laser cleaning. But the present cleaning with a high intensity laser beam is time consuming and produces unwanted surface roughness. Thermal treatment and excimer laser cleaning are being investigated as alternative methods.
