    摘要: A light source apparatus, in which an energy beam transforms a liquid raw material into plasma to extract radiation, includes a rotation body, a raw material supply section, and a layer thickness adjustment section. The rotation body is disposed at a position onto which the energy beam is incident, and includes a groove overlapping with an incident area of the energy beam. The raw material supply section supplies the groove with the liquid raw material. The layer thickness adjustment section adjusts a layer thickness of the liquid raw material such that a front surface of the liquid raw material forms a concave surface in response to the groove in the incident area of the energy beam.

    摘要: An anode for an X-ray tube can include one or more of an yttrium-oxide derivative, titanium diboride, boron carbide, titanium suboxide, reaction-bonded silicon carbide, and reaction-bonded silicon nitride. Upon collision with an anode, the kinetic energy of an electron beam in an X-ray tube is converted to high-frequency electromagnetic waves, i.e., X-rays. An anode from one or more of the above materials and a gradient distribution of conductive metals can reduce costs and/or weight, extend the life of the anode or associated components (e.g., bearings) and simultaneously provide a higher heat storage capacity as compared to traditional molybdenum and tungsten anodes.
