Field Emission Dark Current of Technical Metallic Electrodes
نویسنده
چکیده
In the framework of the Low Emittance Gun (LEG) project, high gradient acceleration of a low emittance electron beam will be necessary. In order to achieve this acceleration a-500 kV, 250 ns FWHM, pulse will be applied in between two electrodes. Those electrodes should sustain the pulsed field without arcing, must not outgass and must not emit electrons. Ion back bombardment, and dark current will be damageable to the electron source as well as for the low emittance beam. Electrodes of commercially available OFE copper, aluminium, stainless steel, titanium and molybdenum were tested following different procedures including plasma glow discharge cleaning.

متن کاملDirect Synthesis of Carbon Nanotube Field Emitters on Metal Substrate for Open-Type X-ray Source in Medical Imaging
We report the design, fabrication and characterization of a carbon nanotube enabled open-type X-ray system for medical imaging. We directly grew the carbon nanotubes used as electron emitter for electron gun on a non-polished raw metallic rectangular-rounded substrate with an area of 0.1377 cm² through a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. The stable field emission properties with...
متن کاملSpontaneous Emission Spectrum from a Driven Three-Level Atom in a Double-Band Photonic Crystal
Abstract The spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. We use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. The transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the oth...
متن کاملTHERMIONIC-FIELD EMISSION IN AIGaAs/GaAs 1WO-DIMENSIONAL ELECTRON GAS CHARGE-COUPLED DEVICES
Dark current in AIGaAs/GaAs two-dimensional electron gas charge-coupled devices (2DEG CCDs) is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Measurement of the dark current for temperatures in the range 160 K to 360 K was performed and compared with the results of numerical modelling. It is found that thermionic-field emission of electrons from the gate to the channel is the dominant mech...
متن کاملDramatic Reduction of Dc Field Emission from Large Area Electrodes by Plasma-source Ion Implantation*
Field emission is one of the principal phenomena limiting the operating voltage of practical electron guns. There is interest in developing photoemission cathode based DC electron guns employing cathode field strengths and cathode-anode voltages well above the present stateof-the-art. Such electron sources could provide high brightness, high average current beams for energy recovered supercondu...
