    Abstract: An electron emitter that consists of: a low work function material including Lanthanum hexaboride or Iridium Cerium that acts as an emitter, a cylinder base made of high work function material that has a cone shape where the low work function material is embedded in the high work function material but is exposed at end of the cone and the combined structure is heated and biased to a negative voltage relative to an anode, an anode electrode that has positive bias relative to the emitter, and a wehnelt electrode with an aperture where the cylindrical base protrudes through the wehnelt aperture so the end of the cone containing the emissive area is placed between the wehnelt and the anode.

    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 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-rectangular 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.
