    摘要: An electron gun includes an electron source configured to emit electrons. The electron source includes an electron emission region configured to emit the electrons and an electron emission restrictive region configured to restrict emission of the electrons. The electron emission restrictive region is located on a side surface of the electron source except an electron emission surface on a tip of the electron source and is covered with a different material from the electron source. The electron gun emits thermal field-emitted electrons by applying an electric field to the tip while maintaining a sufficiently low temperature to avoid sublimation of a material of the electron source. The material of the electron source may be lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) or cerium hexaboride (CeB6). The electron emission restrictive region may be covered with carbon.

    摘要: An electron gun having an electron source emitting electrons includes: an acceleration electrode which accelerates the electrons; an extraction electrode which has a spherical concave surface having the center on an optical axis and facing the electron emission surface, and which extracts an electron from the electron emission surface; and a suppressor electrode which suppresses electron emission from a side surface of the electron source. In the electron gun, an electric field is applied to the electron emission surface while the electron source is kept at a low temperature in such an extent that sublimation of a material of the electron source would not be caused, to cause the electron source to emit a thermal field emission electron.
