Carbon Nanotube Electron Emitter for X-ray Imaging
The carbon nanotube field emitter array was grown on silicon substrate through a resist-assisted patterning (RAP) process. The shape of the carbon nanotube array is elliptical with 2.0 × 0.5 mm for an isotropic focal spot size at anode target. The field emission properties with triode electrodes show a gate turn-on field of 3 V/μm at an anode emission current of 0.1 mA. The author demonstrated ...
متن کاملA vacuum-sealed miniature X-ray tube based on carbon nanotube field emitters
A vacuum-sealed miniature X-ray tube based on a carbon nanotube field-emission electron source has been demonstrated. The diameter of the X-ray tube is 10 mm; the total length of the tube is 50 mm, and no external vacuum pump is required for the operation. The maximum tube voltage reaches up to 70 kV, and the X-ray tube generates intense X-rays with the air kerma strength of 108 Gy·cm2 min-1. I...
متن کاملCarbon-nanotube Field Emission X-ray Tube for Space Exploration Xrd/xrf Instrument
The deployment of in-situ miniature XRD instruments for planetary exploration requires small focus bright X-ray sources that are physically small, lightweight, robust, and power efficient. Existing miniature X-ray tubes are limited by inefficient thermionic electron sources. We have investigated the potential of carbon nanotube (CNT) field emitters for improving the efficiency and durability of...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Stationary Chest Tomosynthesis System Using Carbon Nanotube X-ray Source Array
Jing Shan: Development of a stationary chest tomosynthesis system using carbon nanotube x-ray source array (Under the direction of Otto Zhou) X-ray imaging system has shown its usefulness for providing quick and easy access of imaging in both clinic settings and emergency situations. It greatly improves the workflow in hospitals. However, the conventional radiography systems, lacks 3D informati...
متن کاملTransmission-type microfocus x-ray tube using carbon nanotube field emitters
A microfocus x-ray tube that can generate x rays with the focal spot size less than 5 m has been demonstrated using carbon nanotube CNT field emitters. A CNT cathode on a sharp tungsten tip, a magnetic solenoid lens, and a transmission-type x-ray target were adopted for the microfocus x-ray tube. The design characteristics and the operation performance of the microfocus x-ray tube are presented...
