    Abstract: A system and method of magnetically insulating the cathode of a cold-cathode electron gun is achieved. A strong magnetic field is applied in the vicinity of the cold cathode to deflect and constrain the flow of electrons emitted from structures within the electron gun. The magnetic field largely prevents re-reflected primary and secondary electrons from reaching the cathode, thereby improving the operation and increasing the life of the cold-cathode electron gun. In addition, the insulating magnetic field improves electron beam focusing and enables a reduction in the magnitude of static electric focusing fields employed in the vicinity of the cold cathode, further reducing the electron gun's susceptibility to destructive arcing.

    Abstract: It is possible to provide an electron emission cathode, an electron emission source having a high-luminance and narrow energy width by using diamond and an electronic device using them. The diamond electron discharge cathode has a monocrystal diamond at least at a part of it. The diamond electron emission cathode has a columnar shape including a sharpened section and a heating section. The sharpened section has an electron emission section. The electron emission section and the heating section are formed by diamond semiconductor, which is formed by a p-type semiconductor containing 2×1015 cm−3 of p-type impurities or above. The electron emission section has the semiconductor. A metal layer is formed on the surface of the electron emission cathode. The metal layer exists at least at a part of the heating section. The distance from the electron emission section to the position nearest to the end of the metal layer is 500 μm. A pair of current introduction terminals supplies current to the heating section to heat the heating section. A part of the introduced electrons is emitted from the electron emission section.

    Abstract: An electron microscope is described. This electron microscope includes an electron emitter that has an evaporation or sublimation rate that is significantly less than that of tungsten at the reduced pressures around the electron emitter during operation of the electron microscope. As a consequence, the electron microscope may be able to operate at reduced pressures that are much larger than those in existing electron microscopes. For example, at least during the operation the reduced pressure in the electron microscope may be greater than or equal to a medium vacuum. This capability may allow the electron microscope to use a roughing pump to provide the reduced pressure, thereby reducing the cost and complexity of the electron microscope, and improving its reliability. In addition, the size of the electron microscope may be reduced, which may enable a hand-held or portable version of the electron microscope.
