    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: The object of the present invention is to enable the optical axis of an electron beam of a field emission electron gun mounting thereon an electron gun composed of a fibrous carbon material to be adjusted easily. Moreover, it is also to obtain an electron beam whose energy spread is narrower than that of the electron gun. Further, it is also to provide a high resolution electron beam applied device mounting thereon the field emission electron gun. The means for achieving the objects of the present invention is in that the fibrous carbon material is coated with a material having a band gap, in the field emission electron gun including an electron source composed of a fibrous carbon material and an electrically conductive base material for supporting the fibrous carbon material, an extractor for field-emitting electrons, and an accelerator for accelerating the electrons. Moreover, it is also to apply the field emission electron gun to various kinds of electron beam applied devices.

    Abstract: An electron source emitter is made from transition metal carbide materials, including hafnium carbide (HfC), zirconium carbide (ZrC), titanium carbide (TiC), vanadium carbide (VC), niobium carbide (NbC), and tantalum carbide (TaC), which are of high refractory nature. Preferential evaporating and subsequent development of different crystallographic planes of the transition metal carbide emitter having initially at its apex a small radius (50 nm-300 nm) develop over time an on-axis, sharp end-form or tip that is uniformly accentuated circumferentially to an extreme angular form and persists over time. An emitter manufactured to the (110) crystallographic plane and operating at high electron beam current and high temperature for about 20 hours to 40 hours results in the (110) plane, while initially not a high emission crystallographic orientation, developing into a very high field emission orientation because of the geometrical change. This geometrical change allows for a very high electric field and hence high on-axis electron emission.

    Abstract: Compositions of carbon nanoflakes are coated with a low Z compound, where an effective electron emission of the carbon nanoflakes coated with the low Z compound is improved compared to an effective electron emission of the same carbon nanoflakes that are not coated with the low Z compound or of the low Z compound that is not coated onto the carbon nanoflakes. Compositions of chromium oxide and molybdenum carbide-coated carbon nanoflakes are also described, as well as applications of these compositions. Carbon nanoflakes are formed and a low Z compound coating, such as a chromium oxide or molybdenum carbide coating, is formed on the surfaces of carbon nanoflakes. The coated carbon nanoflakes have excellent field emission properties.
