11 Citations | This method is useful for applications, such as field-emission lamps and x-ray tubes, which do not require nanofabricated cathode structures. |
46 Citations | The heating that should result provides a plausible explanation for the hot X-ray sources, although they appear to be colocated with cool material. |
01 Jul 1953 15 Citations | The principles described are quite general and may be applied to other cathode-ray tube and camera tube designs. |
39 Citations | This property enables an X-ray processing facility to be more compact than a gamma-ray processing facility with similar throughput capacity, and it increases the penetration and the efficiency for absorbing the emitted X-ray energy in the irradiated material. |
| It is also pointed out that further miniaturization of field emission x-ray sources may need new concepts in designing the tube in shapes acting as ``self focusing'' structures for the electron beams. | |
| The high brightness of the FE e-beam coupled with the array structure of the cold cathode allows a smoother control of the x-ray emission intensity. | |
9 Citations | The unique combination of efficient cathode emission and hot injection possible in these devices suggests that a solid state analogue of the cathode ray tube may be realizable. |
| Moreover, as the method is based on the use of a conventional x-ray tube, we believe that it will also have a great impact in the wider range of material science investigations and in future medical diagnostics. | |
| We conclude that fixed anode x-ray tubes can be used in a magnetic field although its desired electron optics must be fairly “straight” and the cathode-anode axis must be well aligned with the field. |
