New electron energy analyzer (2-dimensional display-type spherical mirror analyzer).

New multichannel electron energy analyzer with cylindrically symmetrical electrostatic field.

This article discusses an electron energy analyzer with a cylindrically symmetrical electrostatic field, designed for rapid Auger analysis. The device was designed and built. The best parameters of the analyzer were estimated and then experimentally verified.

Reduced Diameter Retractable Cylindrical Mirror Analyzer

Parallel energy analyzer for pure electron plasma devices

A technique is presented for measuring the parallel energy distribution of magnetically confined electrons in a cylindrically symmetric pure electron plasma. In essence, the technique measures how many electrons are energetic enough to escape past applied confinement potentials. The technique does not require any secondary magnetic fields. Simplified variations of the technique are also present...

Rotating analyzer–fixed analyzer ellipsometer based on null type ellipsometer

The theory and design of an inexpensive rotating analyzer unit is presented, which allows a conventional null type ellipsometer to work as rotating analyzer–fixed analyzer automatic ellipsometer, without sacrificing the possibility to work in null mode. The mode switching is performed simply by adding or removing the rotating analyzer from its holder. It is shown that the rotating analyzer phas...

The MAVEN Solar Wind Electron Analyzer

The MAVEN Solar Wind Electron Analyzer (SWEA) is a symmetric hemispheric electrostatic analyzer with deflectors that is designed to measure the energy and angular distributions of 3-4600-eV electrons in the Mars environment. This energy range is important for impact ionization of planetary atmospheric species, and encompasses the solar wind core and halo populations, shock-energized electrons, ...
