Abstract
Plasmonics in photoemission have recently gained interest due to their effect on important electron beam parameters such as emittance or quantum efficiency (QE), among others. For example, the presence of nanostructures at the surface of the photoemissive medium can increase the probability of electron emission if their morphological features match that of the plasmonic resonance when laser-irradiated in an electron gun. To determine the optimal size and geometry of these nanostructures and predict the resulting field enhancement, we conducted parametric electromagnetic simulations of nanostructured surfaces using COMSOL®. We investigated several types of geometries commonly found in laser processed copper substrates, optimized their performance under different irradiation wavelengths, and determined the expected maximal enhancement factor attainable.
