There is an urgent need for novel photocathode materials for 4th generation light sources. These consist of very high quantum efficiency and low emmitance cathodes that are used to injecting electrons into a free electron lazer cavity. A combination of mesoscale modelling and photoemission prediction (from hybrid-DFT, TD-DFT and GW as appropriate) will be used to characterise the emmited spectrum from complex material surfaces and coatings. The resultant structure-property relationships will be used within a large international collaboration to generate next generation light sources for materials characteriation.

迫切需要用于第四代光源的新型光电阴极材料。这包括非常高的量子效率和低发射率的阴极，用于将电子注入自由电子激光腔中。结合中尺度模拟和光电发射预测(适当地来自混合DFT、TD-DFT和GW)，将被用来表征复杂材料表面和涂层的发射光谱。由此产生的结构-性质关系将用于一个大型国际合作，以产生用于材料表征的下一代光源。
