The invention relates to the field of production of barium-scandate dispenser cathodes or other barium-scandate materials. A target (66) containing a mixture of BaO, CaO, Al2O3 and Sc2O3 tends to be more stable, the higher the scandia (scandium oxide) content is. However, an increased scandia content results in a reduced emission capability. A destabilizing effect of BaO and CaO reactions is counteracted by the more inert Sc2O3 and also Al2O3 components, as not only an increased scandia content stabilizes the material but also an increased alumina (aluminum oxide) content improves the stability.

According to one embodiment, an X-ray tube includes an anode target, a cathode including a filament and a convergence electrode which includes a groove portion, and an envelope. The groove portion includes a pair of first bottom surfaces which are located in the same plane as the filament and between which the filament is interposed in a width direction of the groove portion, and a pair of second bottom surfaces between which the filament and the pair of first bottom surfaces are interposed in a length direction of the groove portion and which are located closer to an opening of the groove portion than the pair of first bottom surfaces.

An active electronically steered cathode (AESC) applies one or more electromagnetic modes to an input cavity, similar to that used in an inductive output tube. The structure and superposition of these modes creates local electric field maxima, causing the electron emission site or sites to move or be distributed across the surface of the cathode. Changing the amplitude, phase, or frequency of the modes provides time-variable control of the electric field profile, thereby generating electronically steered electron beams. One embodiment employs a pair of orthogonal TM modes driven out of phase, causing the electric field maximum to rotate around an annular cathode, producing a helical beam. Slots in the control grid may be used to segment the helical beam into discrete bunches to provide additional density modulation.

The present invention concerns a cathode arrangement, preferably for a magnetron cathode, especially for operation in the case of medium-to-high frequency alternating voltage or currents with a rotatable cathode, of which at least one part is arranged rotatably and vacuum-tight in at least one fixed component, and an insert, which is provided between the rotatable part and fixed component(s), with the insert made from an isolator.

The present invention relates to electronics and particularly to field emitters used in M-type microwave devices. The design of a multi-layer field emitter is proposed which has at least one operating film and supporting films, providing mechanical strength and preventing penetration of corrosion materials into the operating film at high operating temperatures. The supporting films could be produced from the same material or material with linear expansion coefficients equal or close to that of the operating film material. Built-in mechanical stress can cause not only deformation but also a break of the film during its exploitation in a wide range of temperatures. In the inventive structure the thermal stresses in the operating film during an emission from its surface are lower due to good thermal contact with supporting films.

A transducer suitable for generating signals in the terahertz region has a resonant cavity (4) with apertures (6) aligned with cold cathode source (2) being a field emitter array. The resonant cavity (4) consists of an inner cylindrical region (8) and an outer toroid region (9) that includes a slot antenna (11). To achieve signal generation in the terahertz region, the cavity (4) is fabricated using an etched polymeric material.

A traveling wave tube includes a glass or other insulating envelope having a plurality of substantially parallel glass rods supported therewithin which in turn support an electron gun, a collector and an intermediate slow wave structure. The slow wave structure itself provides electrostatic focussing of a central electron beam thereby eliminating the need for focussing magnetics and materially decreasing the cost of construction as well as enabling miniaturization. The slow wave structure advantageously includes cavities along the electron beam through which the r.f. energy is propagated, or a double, interleaved ring loop structure supported by dielectric fins within a ground plane cylinder disposed coaxially within the glass envelope.

In a field emission cathode emitting an electron beam modulated by any desired high frequency, a cathode tip is formed in one surface of an N type semiconductor substrate constituting a collector region, an insulating layer formed on the one surface of the semiconductor substrate to have an opening which surrounds said cathode tip, a gate electrode is formed on the insulating layer to have an opening which surrounds the cathode tip, a P type base region is formed in the other surface of the semiconductor substrate, a base electrode is formed on the base region, an N type emitter region is formed in the base region, and an emitter electrode is formed on the emitter region. A DC supply source is connected across the gate electrode and the emitter electrode and a high frequency supply source is connected across the base electrode and the emitter electrode. Then, an electron beam modulated by a high frequency within the millimeter wave or microwave region of the high frequency supply source can be emitted efficiently from said cathode tip. Additionally, an electron beam modulated at a high frequency is generated by applying the Gunn effect in a compound semiconductor to a field emission cathode. The thus generated electron beam is cooperated with a cavity resonator or Fabry-Pérot resonator, and an electromagnetic wave within the millimeter wave or microwave region can be efficiently generated.

This cathode has a body made of a material that does not emit electrons, having a substantially smooth non-emissive face and elements made of an emissive material each having an emissive face, spaced out from one another and fixed to the body, for example in hollows with their emissive surface in relief by a determined value with respect to said non-emissive face, so that a protection electrode can be placed between the projecting parts of these elements.
