  • Electron gun for producing incident and secondary electrons
    Patent number: 7285915
    Abstract: An electron gun. The electron gun includes an RF cavity having a first side with an emitting surface and a second side with a transmitting and emitting section. The gun also includes a mechanism for producing an oscillating force which encompasses the emitting surface and the section so electrons are directed between the emitting surface and the section to contact the emitting surface and generate additional electrons and to contact the section to generate additional electrons or escape the cavity through the section. A method for producing electrons.

  • Electron gun
    Publication number: 20030038603
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to an electron gun. The electron gun comprises an RF cavity having a first side with an emitting surface and a second side with a transmitting and emitting section. The gun is also comprised of a mechanism for producing an oscillating force which encompasses the emitting surface and the section so electrons are directed between the emitting surface and the section to contact the emitting surface and generate additional electrons and to contact the section to generate additional electrons or escape the cavity through the section. The section preferably isolates the cavity from external forces outside and adjacent the cavity. The section preferably includes a transmitting and emitting screen. The screen can be of an annular shape, or of a circular shape, or of a rhombohedrion shape.
