Patent number: 8952605Abstract: A metal hexaboride nanowire such as LaB6 with the formed metal-terminated (100) plane at the tip has a small work function, and can emit a very narrow electron beam from the (100) plane. In such emitters, contamination occurs in a very short time period, and the output current greatly decreases when used under low temperature. The cold field emitter of the present invention overcomes this problem with a stabilization process that exposes the metal-terminated (100) plane of the tip to hydrogen at low temperature, and can stably operate over extended time periods.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2013Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: National Institute for Materials ScienceInventors: Han Zhang, Jie Tang, Luchang Qin, Jinshi Yuan, Norio Shinya, Yasushi Yamauchi

Patent number: 8017920Abstract: A spin polarized ion beam generation apparatus (30) can efficiently generate a spin polarized ion by using a pumping light generator (33) to an ion in a high frequency discharge tube (15) to irradiate optical pumping (33,34) by circularly polarized light and linearly polarized light orthogonal to each other to a metastable atom. For example, a polarized helium ion beam having a spin polarization rate that exceeds 18% and that is as high as 25% can be generated. The spin polarized ion beam generation apparatus (30) also can be applied to a processing apparatus and an analysis apparatus that can irradiate a polarized ion beam to a specimen. According to the spin polarized ion scattering spectroscopy apparatus, the spin status in a region at a depth of about 2 to 3 atomic layers from the surface of the specimen can be measured while discriminating the elements from the atomic layer with a reduced measurement time and with a high accuracy impossible in the conventional technique.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2007Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Japan Science and Technology AgencyInventors: Taku Suzuki, Yasushi Yamauchi
