Abstract :
The unique thermal, chemical, electrical, surface and mechanical properties of synthetic diamond films are discussed for high-current photocathode-driven electron guns. The potential of diamond as a cold photocathode substrate and direct photocathode are discussed. Novel optic methods to create temporal and spatially profiled electron beams are presented.<>
