Abstract: An electron beam apparatus which can stably achieve high spatial resolution also during low acceleration observation using CeB6 for the CFE electron source is provided. In an electron beam apparatus having a CFE electron source, the emitter of the electron beam of the CFE electron source is Ce hexaboride or a hexaboride of a lanthanoid metal heavier than Ce, the hexaboride emits the electron beam from the {310} plane, and the number of the atoms of the lanthanoid metal on the {310} plane is larger than the number of boron molecules comprising six boron atoms on the {310} plane.

Abstract: In order to provide a stable hexaboride single-crystal field emission electron source capable of heat-flashing, this field emission electron source is provided with a metal filament, a metal tube joined thereto, a hexaboride tip that emits electrons, and graphite sheets that are independent of the metal tube and the hexaboride tip. The hexaboride tip is arranged so as not to be in structural contact with the metal tube due to the graphite sheets. The hexaboride tip, the graphite sheets, and the metal tube are configured so as to be mechanically and electrically in contact with one another.
