Practical experiences with electron gun charge-compensation during SIMS-analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Electrical charging during SIMS-analysis (secondary ion mass spectrometry) is a severe limitation for the analysis of non-conductive samples. In most cases this charging can be compensated with the aid of an electron gun. This is an already established method to analyze insulating samples. In this work results of a systematic study of electron gun charge compensation in our CAMECA ims5f ion microprobe are described.

Progress and Future Directions in Brightness Electron Beam Sources*
The progress of various high-brightness electron source technologies, specially laser based electron sources, such as photocathode RF gun, DC and pulsed photo-gun, and laser plasma electron source, will be reviewed. The physics processes of those sources to realize best performance are clarified according to three basic ideas. They are transverse space charge emittance compensation, space charg...
متن کاملSurface charge compensation for a highly charged ion emission microscope.
A surface charge compensation electron flood gun has been added to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) highly charged ion (HCI) emission microscope. HCI surface interaction results in a significant charge residue being left on the surface of insulators and semiconductors. This residual charge causes undesirable aberrations in the microscope images and a reduction of the time-of-fl...

To generate high quality synchrotron radiation in the future ERL light sources, the performance of the ERL injector, which has critical components, a photo cathode gun and super conducting cavities, is very important. In the injector, an electron beam is generated by photo cathode DC gun, and accelerated by super conducting RF cavities. Since an electron beam with −77 pC bunch charge and 1.3 GH...

The stability of the photo injector is a key issue for the successful operation of linac based free electron lasers. Several types of jitter can impact the stability of a laser driven RF gun. Fluctuations of the RF launch phase and the cathode laser energy have significant influence on the performance of a high brightness electron source. Bunch charge measurements are used to monitor the stabil...

We present a comparison between space charge calculations and direct measurements of the transverse phase space of space charge dominated electron bunches from a high voltage dc photoemission gun followed by an emittance compensation solenoid magnet. The measurements were performed using a double-slit emittance measurement system over a range of bunch charge and solenoid current values. The dat...
