Among various studies effusion cell evaporation has been proven for high potential in achieving such requirements. In this paper we report the results of the study on both the 1 step and 2 step tenuary co-evaporation of cesium potassium antimonide (K-Cs-Sb) photocathodes from alkali effusion cells, with in situ and operando X-ray characterization techniques. We were able to achieve 1.2 nm of surface roughness from an 80 nm thick photocathode film, with high crystallinity and a quantum efficacy exceeds 30% at 360 nm wavelength and 5.8% at 530 nm wavelength.
