    Abstract: An electron source is made from mixed-metal carbide materials of high refractory nature. Producing field-enhanced thermionic emission, i.e., thermal-field or extended Schottky emission, from these materials entails the use of a certain low work function crystallographic direction, such as, for example, (100), (210), and (310). These materials do not naturally facet because of their refractory nature. The disclosed electron source made from transition metal carbide material is especially useful when installed in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) performing advanced imaging applications that require a high brightness, high beam current source.

    Abstract: In the present invention, a cathode for an x-ray tube is formed with a large area flat emitter. To reduce the aberrations to a minimum the emission area in the flat emitter has a non-rectangular shape and focusing pads arranged around the emitter. In an exemplary embodiment, the flat emitter has a non-rectilinear polygonal shape for an emission area on the emitter in order to increase the emission current from the emitter at standard voltage levels without the need to run the emitters at a higher temperature, add additional emitters to the cathode and/or to coat the emitters with a low work function material.

    Abstract: In the present invention, a cathode (60) for an x-ray tube (12) is formed with a large area flat emitter (55). To reduce the aberrations to a minimum, the emission area (237) in the flat emitter (55) has a non-rectangular shape and focusing pads (85) arranged around the emitter (55). In an exemplary embodiment, the flat emitter (55) has a non-rectilinear polygonal shape for an emission area (237) on the emitter (55) in order to increase the emission current from the emitter (55) at standard voltage levels without the need to run the emitters (55) at a higher temperature, add additional emitters (55) to the cathode (60) and/or to coat the emitters (55) with a low work function material.
