Abstract:
Apparatus is described for generating an electron beam in the presence of a gas at a pressure higher than 100 Pa. The apparatus comprises an acceleration gap defined between a metallic cathode 18 having a flat surface spaced by a uniform predetermined distance from a metallic anode (20). A cable pulse generator applies a steep edged high voltage pulse by way of a transmission line (10) to the acceleration gap. The length of the acceleration gap is determined in dependence upon the peak voltage of the applied pulse, the rise time of the leading edge of the applied pulse and the capacitance of the acceleration gap in such manner as to generate a run-away current between the cathode and the anode.
Abstract:
Field emission nanostructures (18) assist operation of a microdischarge device. The field emission nanostructures are integrated into the microdischarge device(s) or are situated near an electrode (14, 16, 36, 38) of the microdischarge device(s). The field emission nanostructures reduce operating and ignition voltages compared to otherwise identical device lacking the field emission nanostructures, while also increasing the radiative output of the microdischarge device(s).

Abstract:
The invention relates to gas-discharge high-vacuum devices. Said invention makes it possible to increase the efficiency of electron beam extraction and the gas and energy efficiency. The inventive plasma electron-emitting source comprises internal and external polepieces embodied in the form of a body of rotation provided with central holes, a source of magnetomotive force arranged between said polepieces, an arc apertured hollow cathode and a gas supply unit which are arranged in a hermetically sealed body. Said source also comprises intermediate and main anodes embodied in the form of a body of rotation provided with central holes and arranged between coaxial output holes of the cathode and the body. The intermediate anode, the internal polepiece, a ring collector, the main anode and the external polepiece are arranged in series between the output holes of the cathode and the body. The main anode is made of low-magnetic material and is disposed in such a way that not less than 30 % of the magnetic flow formed in space between the polepieces passes through the hole thereof. The internal and external polepieces are electrically connected to the cathode.
