High-repetition-rate ferroelectric-cathode gyrotron
The intensive research on ferroelectric electron-emission mechanisms in the last decade has resulted in a wide understanding of the physics and characteristics of this plasma-assisted electron source. Nevertheless, practical devices employing this cathode were hardly introduced. In this experimental study, a high-repetition-rate microwave oscillator based on a ferroelectric electron gun has bee...
متن کاملHigh-current Cold Cathode Field Emission Array for Electron Lens Application
During Phase I, the following goals were achieved: (1) design and fabrication of a novel, nano-dimensional CNT field emitter assembly for high current density application, with high durability; (2) fabrication of a ceramic based micro channel plate (MCP) and characterization of its secondary electron emission; and (3) characterizing the CNT/MCP cathode for high field emission and durability. As...
متن کاملA Fully-Sealed Carbon-Nanotube Cold-Cathode Terahertz Gyrotron
Gigahertz to terahertz radiation sources based on cold-cathode vacuum electron technology are pursued, because its unique characteristics of instant switch-on and power saving are important to military and space applications. Gigahertz gyrotron was reported using carbon nanotube (CNT) cold-cathode. It is reported here in first time that a fully-sealed CNT cold-cathode 0.22 THz-gyrotron is reali...
متن کاملDemonstration of Field Emission Cathode Operation in a Plasma Environment
Field emission cathodes are being considered for use on low-power electrostatic and electromagnetic propulsion systems as well as on electrodynamic tether systems. In these systems, field emission cathodes prevent negative spacecraft charging by emitting a lowpower electron beam that is accommodated by the ambient plasma. Prototype cathodes were tested at the University of Michigan as part of a...
متن کاملExperimental Characterization of a Carbon Nanotube Field Emission Cathode
There is interest in the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to create a field emission cathode. The primary benefit of this cathode is that a gas flow is not required to create electrons, which is of critical importance for space missions that must minimize propellant mass. A field emission cathode consisting of CNT arrays is fabricated by the Georgia Tech Research Institute and the Georgia Tech Hi...
