Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for making a transmission electron microscope grid. The method includes: (a) providing a substrate with a graphene layer on a surface of the substrate; (b) applying a carbon nanotube film structure to cover the graphene layer; (c) removing the substrate, to obtain a graphene layer-carbon nanotube film composite structure; and (d) placing the graphene layer-carbon nanotube film composite structure on a grid.
Abstract:
A device includes an anode, a cathode, and a grid configured to modulate a flow of electrons from the cathode to anode. The grid is made of graphene material which is substantially transparent to the flow of electrons.
Abstract:
An electron tube device (100) comprises an electron emitter (10), which is adapted for a release of electrons, an electron collector (20), which is adapted for a collection of the electrons, wherein the electron collector (20) and the electron emitter (10) are spaced from each other by a gap (1), and a gate electrode (30), which is arranged between the electron emitter (10) and the electron collector (20), wherein the gate electrode (30) is adapted for subjecting the electrons in the gap (1) to an electrical potential, wherein the gate electrode (30) comprises at least one membrane-shaped, electrically conductive or semiconductive electrode layer (31), which is at least partially transparent for the electrons, and the at least one electrode layer (31) has at least one of a plurality of through-holes and at least one electron absorption reducing dopant. Furthermore, methods of using the electron tube device (100) are disclosed.
Abstract:
Graphene grids are configured for applications in vacuum electronic devices. A multilayer graphene grid is configured as a filter for electrons in a specific energy range, in a field emission device or other vacuum electronic device. A graphene grid can be deformable responsive to an input to vary electric fields proximate to the grid. A mesh can be configured to support a graphene grid.
