Abstract: An electron source includes a negative electron affinity photocathode on a light-transmissive substrate and a light beam generator for directing a light beam through the substrate at the photocathode for exciting electrons into the conduction band. The photocathode has at least one active area for emission of electrons with dimensions of less than about two micrometers. The electron source further includes electron optics for forming the electrons into an electron beam and a vacuum enclosure for maintaining the photocathode at high vacuum. In one embodiment, the active emission area of the photocathode is defined by the light beam that is incident on the photocathode. In another embodiment, the active emission area of the photocathode is predefined by surface modification of the photocathode. The source provides very high brightness from an ultra-small active emission area of the photocathode.

Abstract: A microgap flat panel display which comprises a thin gas-filled display tube that utilizes switched X-Y "pixel" strips to trigger electron avalanches and activate a phosphor at a given location on a display screen. The panel utilizes the principal of electron multiplication in a gas subjected to a high electric field to provide sufficient electron current to activate standard luminescent phosphors located on an anode. The X-Y conductive strips of a few micron widths may, for example, be deposited on opposite sides of a thin insulating substrate, or on one side of the adjacent substrates and function as a cathode. The X-Y strips are separated from the anode by a gap filled with a suitable gas. Electrical bias is selectively switched onto X and Y strips to activate a "pixel" in the region where these strips overlap. A small amount of a long-lived radioisotope is used to initiate an electron avalanche in the overlap region when bias is applied. The avalanche travels through the gas-filled gap and activates a luminescent phosphor of a selected color. The bias is adjusted to give a proportional electron multiplication to control brightness for a given pixel. The application of the electrical bias to the X-Y network of strips can be done using standard electronic switching systems consisting of transistor arrays. With the proper layout of X-Y strips, monochrome or additive color pixels can be triggered to form a display conforming to any video standard, e.g. NTSC, PAL, or SECAM.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to the field of plasmas and, more particularly, to the creation of very high density stable plasmas inside solids. Very high density stable plasmas have many applications, including among many others, plasma solid fusion, transmutation reactions, matter, particles and energy storage, etc... For decades, scientists have tried unsuccessfully to increase the storage density of particles such as hydrogen through diverse methods such as liquefaction or magnetic confinement. To date the results have not been up to expectations. This invention provides the means and technique necessary to increase the density of particles to another order of magnitude by showing how to create a very high density stable plasma inside a solid. This invention also presents the means and techniques necessary to exploit some of the obvious applications, such as plasma solid fusion, energy, particles, and heat production, among many others.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating neutrons and protons which includes a vacuum vessel having anode means substantially within vacuum vessel. The apparatus further includes at least one cathode wire grid which defines a central volume and is concave towards a central region of the vacuum vessel. The cathode wire grid is permeable to gas and to ions and disposed between the anode means. The apparatus further includes a means for introducing controlled amounts of reactive gas into the vacuum vessel and the central volume to obtain an internal pressure of the vacuum vessel. Finally, the apparatus includes means for applying an electric potential between the anode means and the cathode wire grid to produce a glow discharge caused by ions produced between the anode means and the cathode wire grid. The glow discharge is substantially determined by design criteria of the cathode wire grid and the internal pressure of the vacuum vessel.
