	Alkali-antimonides photocathodes, characterized by high quantum efficiency (QE) and low mean transverse energy (MTE) in the visible range of spectrum, are excellent candidates for electron sources to drive X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFEL) and Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED). A key figure of merit for these applications is the electron beam brightness, which is inversely proportional to MTE. MTE can be limited by nanoscale surface roughness. Recently, we have demonstrated physically and chemically smooth Cs₃Sb cathodes on Strontium Titanate (STO) substrates grown via co-deposition technique. Such flat cathodes could result from a more ordered growth. In this paper, we present RHEED data of co-deposited Cs₃Sb cathodes on STO. Efforts to achieve epitaxial growth of Cs₃Sb on STO are then demonstrated via RHEED. We find that films grown epitaxially on substrates like STO and SiC (previously used to achieve single crystalline Cs₃Sb) exhibit QE higher than the polycrystalline Cs₃Sb cathodes, by an order of magnitude below photoemission threshold. Given the larger QE, lower laser fluence could be used to extract high charge densities, thereby leading to enhanced beam brightness.

Alkali-antimonides photocathodes, characterized by high quantum efficiency (QE) and low mean transverse energy (MTE) in the visible range of spectrum, are excellent candidates for electron sources to drive X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFEL) and Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED). A key figure of merit for these applications is the electron beam brightness, which is inversely proportional to MTE. MTE can be limited by nanoscale surface roughness. Recently, we have demonstrated physically and chemically smooth Cs₃Sb cathodes on Strontium Titanate (STO) substrates grown via co-deposition technique. Such flat cathodes could result from a more ordered growth. In this paper, we present RHEED data of co-deposited Cs₃Sb cathodes on STO. Efforts to achieve epitaxial growth of Cs₃Sb on STO are then demonstrated via RHEED. We find that films grown epitaxially on substrates like STO and SiC (previously used to achieve single crystalline Cs₃Sb) exhibit QE higher than the polycrystalline Cs₃Sb cathodes, by an order of magnitude below photoemission threshold. Given the larger QE, lower laser fluence could be used to extract high charge densities, thereby leading to enhanced beam brightness.
