    摘要: Alloys suitable for use in liquid metal field ionization ion sources are provided. Such sources include an anode electrode for supporting an ion emitter comprising an alloy in the liquid state. The source further comprises means for generating an ionizing electric field and a reservoir for the liquid metal, ions of which are to be emitted by the source.The alloys are selected from the group consisting of (a) metal-metalloid alloys comprising about 10 to 30 atom percent of at least one metalloid element, the balance at least one transition metal element, (b) early transition-late transition alloys comprising about 30 to 85 atom percent of at least one early transition metal, the balance at least one late transition metal, and (c) Group II alloys comprising about 35 to 80 atom percent of at least one Group II element, the balance at least one metal element.Ions generated in liquid metal ion sources form a high brightness ion beam, which permits focusing a beam of emitted ions to a submicrometer spot. The ions may be used to alter material properties by ion implantation such as to dope semiconductors, to form ohmic contacts, to improve wear and corrosion resistance in metal surfaces and by sputter etching thin films such as metals, dielectrics and semiconductors.

    摘要: The specification describes a new and improved optical coupler which comprises (1) a substrate which is adapted to receive and reflect light, having formed therein and adjacent the major (or top) surface of the substrate an optical waveguiding structure comprising three interconnected light confining and propagating sections and (2) a light-reflecting or light-transmitting means. The first section of the waveguiding structure comprises a plurality of spaced-apart optical channel waveguides, each of which extends to a first minor surface of the substrate [which is perpendicular to the major (or top) surface of the substrate]. The second section of the waveguiding structure comprises a plurality of horn-shaped, tapered wave transition sections or regions which extend integrally from the channel waveguides and which are adjacently joined to each other at common points to form a multiple side-by-side horn-like configuration. The third section of the waveguiding structure comprises a wave-mixing section which is integral at one end thereof with the tapered wave transition sections or regions and which extends at the other end thereof to a second minor surface (or transmissive plane) of the substrate. In addition, at the second minor surface or transmissive plane of the substrate there may be provided a means for transmitting or reflecting light which is propagated thereto by the wave-mixing section. The tapered geometry of the wave transition sections enhances the optical coupling efficiency between the plurality of channel waveguides and the wave-mixing section.
