Abstract:
Provided is an X-ray generator (10) which causes electrons (11) having passed through an electron path (4), formed by an electron path formation member (3) surrounding the periphery of the electron path (4), to be emitted against a target (1) to generate an X-ray (14), in which: an X-ray (15) generated when the sub X-ray generating portion (5) provided in the electron path (4) is irradiated with the electrons (12) backscattered off the target is capable of being taken out; a material which constitutes the target and a material which constitutes at least the sub X-ray generating portion (5) of the electron path formation member (3) are the same material of which atomic number is 40 or greater. X-ray generation efficiency can be improved by effectively using the electrons backscattered off the transmission target.
Abstract:
The electrode material for a lithium secondary battery according to the present invention includes particles of a solid state alloy having silicon as a main component, wherein the particles of the solid state alloy have a microcrystal or amorphous material including an element other than silicon, dispersed in microcrystalline silicon or amorphized silicon. The solid state alloy preferably contains a pure metal or a solid solution. The composition of the alloy preferably has an element composition in which the alloy is completely mixed in a melted liquid state, whereby the alloy has a single phase in a melted liquid state without pressure of two or more phases. The element composition can be determined by the kind of elements constituting the alloy and an atomic ratio of the elements.

Provided are a radiation discharge target and a radiation emission device whereby adhesion of a layered radiation target is stabilized, output fluctuations associated with operating temperature histories are alleviated, and a stable radiation emission characteristic is present. This radiation target comprises a support substrate, a target layer which emits radiation by illumination with an electron beam, and an intermediate layer which is located between the support substrate and the target layer. The intermediate layer is 1µm or less in thickness and has titanium as a primary constituent. At least a portion of the titanium exhibits a &bgr; phase at 400°C or below.
Abstract:
In an X-ray generation apparatus (10) of transmission type including an electron emission source (6), and a target (1) generating an X-ray (14) with collision of electrons emitted from the electron emission source against the target, the X-ray generation apparatus further includes a secondary X-ray generation portion (5) generating an X- ray with collision of electrons reflected by the target against the secondary X-ray generation portion, and the secondary X-ray generation portion and the target are arranged such that the X-ray (14) generated with the direct collision of the electrons against the target and the X-ray (15) generated with the collision of the electrons reflected by the target against the secondary X-ray generation portion are both radiated to an outside. X-ray generation efficiency is increased by effectively utilizing the electrons reflected by the target.
Abstract:
In a target structure (100) according to the present invention, a target (102) is provided on a central area of an insulating substrate (101), and a first conductive member (103a) for supplying a voltage to the target is provided on a peripheral area of the insulating substrate which is exclusive of an area overlapping the target and is not covered by the target, so that the first conductive member is in contact with and electrically connected to the peripheral portion of the target. Consequently, it is possible to easily form a voltage supply line to the target without preventing diffusion of a heat generated in the target to the substrate and while suppressing emission of an unnecessary X- ray.

A radioactive ray generating apparatus includes a second shielding member, a target, and a first shielding member, which are sequentially disposed from an electron emission source side. A shortest distance from a maximum radiation intensity portion of the target to the first shielding member is shorter than a shortest distance from the maximum radiation intensity portion of the target to the second shielding member.
