Abstract: According to some aspects, a cold cathode device is provided, the device comprising a substrate, a field electron emitter disposed upon the substrate and configured to emit electrons in a first direction, and a structure encapsulating the field electron emitter, thereby creating an airtight seal around the field electron emitter, at least a portion of the structure being an atomically thin membrane positioned in the first direction with respect to the field electron emitter. According to some embodiments, at least one einzel lens may be located within the structure and configured to direct electrons emitted by the field electron emitter.

Abstract: An electron beam apparatus is disclosed that includes a plurality of current source elements disposed in at least one field emitter array. Each current source element can be a gated vertical transistor, an ungated vertical transistor, or a current controlled channel that is proximate to an optically-modulated current source. The electron beam apparatus includes a plurality of field emitter tips, each field emitter tip of the plurality of field emitter tips being coupled to a current source element of the plurality of current source elements. The electron beam apparatus is configured to allow selective activation of one or more of the current source elements.

Abstract: Example compact ion beam sources are provided that can be used to generate ion beams using chemical species and field emitter elements or field emitter arrays. In some example, the compact ion beam source can be implemented as neutron sources based on ion beam bombardment of neutron-rich targets.
