    • A cold field emission (CFE) electron source for a focused electron beam system such as a transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), or scanning electron microscope (SEM) is disclosed. The source employs an emitter enclosure electrode behind the CFE tip which, in conjunction with the extractor electrode, defines a closed volume that can be thoroughly cleaned by electron impact desorption (EID) and radiative heating from a heated filament located between the emitter enclosure electrode and extractor electrode. The extractor electrode may have a counterbore which restricts backscattered electrons generated at the extractor from reaching portions of the source and gun which have not been cleaned by EID. Pre-cleaning of the emitter enclosure electrode and extractor electrode prior to cold field emission substantially improves both source emission stability and frequency noise characteristics, enabling source operation over time intervals adequate for application to TEMs, STEMs, and SEMs.
    • 公开了透射电子显微镜(TEM),扫描透射电子显微镜(STEM)或扫描电子显微镜(SEM)等聚焦电子束系的冷场发射(CFE)电子源。 该源在CFE尖端之后采用发射器外壳电极,其与提取器电极结合,限定可通过电子轰击解吸(EID)彻底清洁的封闭体积,以及位于发射体外壳电极和 提取电极。 提取器电极可以具有沉孔,其限制在提取器处产生的反向散射电子到达未被EID清洁的源和枪的部分。 在冷场发射之前预先清洁发射器外壳电极和提取器电极大大改善了源发射稳定性和频率噪声特性,从而能够实现源于在适用于TEM,STEM和SEM的时间间隔的源操作。

    • An electron injector including an electron source and a conducting grid situated close to the electron source, one or more RF accelerating/bunching cavities operating at the same fundamental RF frequency; a DC voltage source configured to bias the cathode at a small positive voltage with respect to the grid; a first RF drive configured to apply an RF signal between the cathode and grid at the fundamental and third harmonic RF frequencies; and a second RF drive configured to apply an RF drive signal to the accelerating/bunching cavities. Electrons are emitted by the cathode and travel through the grid to the accelerating/bunching cavities for input into an RF linac. The first RF drive applies a first RF drive signal at the fundamental frequency of the linac plus higher harmonics thereof to the gap between the cathode and the grid to cause the emitted electrons to form electron bunches and the second RF drive applies a second RF drive signal to the accelerating/bunching cavities on the other side of the grid to further accelerate and optimize the size of the electron bunches. Because the applied RF signals contain at the fundamental linac frequency, the electrons are bunched at that frequency and each RF bucket of the linac is filled with an electron bunch.

    • A novel method of gating electron emission from field-emitter cathodes for radio frequency (RF) electrode guns and a novel cathode that provides a focused electron beam without the need for magnetic fields or a curved cathode surface are provided. The phase and strength of a predefined harmonic field, such as the 3rd harmonic field, are adjusted relative to a fundamental field to cause a field emission cathode to emit electrons at predefined times for the generation of high-brightness electron beams. The emission time is gated responsive to the combined harmonic and fundamental fields and the response of the FE cathode to the combined fields. A planar focusing cathode includes a selected dielectric material, such as a ceramic material, to provide an electron beam emission surface. Metal surfaces are provided both radially around and behind the dielectric material to shape the electric fields that accelerate and guide the beam from the cathode surface.

    • The present invention pertains to an electron gun that generates an electron flow and the application of this gun to produce rf energy or for injectors. The electron gun comprises an electrostatic cavity having a first stage with emitting faces and multiple stages with emitting sections. The gun is also comprised of a mechanism for producing an electrostatic force which encompasses the emitting faces and the multiple emitting sections so electrons are directed from the emitting faces toward the emitting sections to contact the emitting sections and generate additional electrons and to further contact other emitting sections to generate additional electrons and so on then finally to escape the end of the cavity. The emitting sections preferably provide the cavity with an accelerating force for electrons inside the cavity. The multiple sections preferably include thin forward emitting surfaces. The forward emitting surfaces can be of an annular shape, or of a circular shape, or of a rhombohedron shape. The mechanism preferably includes a mechanism for producing an electrostatic electric field that provides the force and which has a radial component that prevents the electrons from straying out of the region between the first stage with emitting faces and the multiple emitting sections. Additionally, the gun includes a mechanism for producing a magnetic field to contain the electrons anywhere from the first stage with emitting faces or any emitting section and to the end of the cavity. The present invention pertains to a method for producing a flow of electrons. The method comprises the steps of moving at least a first electron in a first direction at one location. Next there is the step of striking a first area with the first electron. Then there is the step of producing additional electrons at the first area due to the first electron. Next there is the step of moving electrons from the first area to a second area and transmitting electrons through the second area and creating more electrons due to electrons from the first area striking the second area. These newly created electrons from the second area move in the first direction then strike the third area, fourth area, etc. Each area creates even more electrons in a repeating manner by moving in the first direction to multiple areas. This process is also repeated at different locations. The mechanism preferably includes a mechanism for accelerating the electrons inside the electrostatic cavity to allow the electron multiplication to continue. The mechanism preferably includes a control grid for bunching the electron flow. The present invention pertains to an electron gun.
