Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an electric discharge tube having an electron-emitting electrode comprising a support with a cesiumcontaining layer thereon which is activated by reaction of a gaseous compound of an inactive or inert gas and fluorine until a cesium fluoride layer having a composition (CsF, Cs) is formed. The gaseous compound, at the temperatures prevailing in the tube does not react with the surfaces of other parts.
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR MAKING A NEGATIVE EFFECTIVE-ELECTRONAFFINITY SILICON ELECTRON EMITTER INCLUDES THE STEPS OF PREPARING THE SILICON BY FIRST HEATING FOR A SHORT TIME TO NEAR THE MELTING POINT OF THE SILICON, SENSITIZING BY APPLYING A LAYER OF WORK-FUNCTION-REDUCING MATERIAL, HEATING AGAIN FOR A SHORT TIME TO A LOWER TEMPERATURE THAN THE FIRST AND AGAINST SENSITIZING BY APPLYING A LAYER OF WORK-FUNCTION-REDUCING MATERIAL.
Abstract:
A method of forming an array from a bundle of individual channel multipliers, the individual channels being fabricated of a lower temperature softening glass tube to permit the walls of the individual channels to be spiralled and also expanded to fill the interstices within a higher softening temperature outer tube, Also, the invention could be practiced utilizing glass tubes of the same temperature softening characteristic. The expanding and spiralling operation is preformed simultaneously by drawing the bundle of individual channels through a furnace while rotating the feed or pull assemblies of the drawing apparatus to spiral the channel bundle and exhausting the area between the individual tubes and the equal or higher temperature softening glass tube to expand the individual channels.
Abstract:
A microchannel plate is provided with a substrate including a front surface, a rear surface, and a side surface, a plurality of channels penetrating from the front surface to the rear surface of the substrate, a first film provided on at least an inner wall surface of the channel, a second film provided on the first film, and electrode layers provided on the front surface and the rear surface of the substrate. The first film is made of Al2O3. The second film is made of SiO2. The first film is thicker than the second film.
Abstract:
The cathode for photo-electron emission 5 is comprised of an alkali metal containing layer 5d made of material for emitting photo-electrons by the entry of light or for emitting secondary electrons by the entry of electrons, such as particles which consist of an alkali antimony compound, on an Ni electrode substrate 5c on which an Al layer 5b is deposited, and has an intermediate layer 5a made of carbon nano-tubes between the alkali metal containing layer 5d and the Ni electrode substrate 5c, therefore the defect density inside the particles is decreased, and the recombining probability of electrons and holes drops remarkably, which improves the quantum efficiency.
