Example 2: based on example 1, but with the difference that:
fig. 1-2 show the electron beam trajectory and radial electric field distribution at 12mm and 9mm distances between the cathode and anode, respectively. As can be seen from the simulation, as the distance between the block cathode and the anode decreases, the radial electric field gradually extends outward, and the convergence effect of electrons decreases; however, the electron confinement force by the peripheral electric field is enhanced, and the stability of the formed electron beam is improved.
Example 3: based on examples 1 and 2, but with the difference that:
as can be seen from fig. 3-4, the radial electric field intensity at the inner side is increased significantly when the outer edge is eliminated, which results in enhanced electron convergence and reduced electron beam forming stability. Month _ is more easily deformed by sputtering due to the sharp edges, so the flat outer edge of the block cathode is not eliminated in the design.
Example 4: based on examples 1, 2 and 3, but with the difference that:
the smaller of the beam spot apertures, also referred to as the mode aperture of the beam spot, is of significant value in the design of the X-ray gun. For a block-shaped cathode emission surface with a concave spherical surface, it is difficult to accurately calculate the electric field on the surface of the cathode. Experiments prove that when the potential of the bunching electrode is the same as that of the block cathode, the maximum emission area of the cathode is equal to the area of the bunching electrode die hole. That is, at a given cutoff voltage, the amount of cathode emission surface area is related only to the spot size die diameter and spot voltage. In order to simplify the structure of the X-ray gun, the beam-converging pole and the block cathode of the X-ray gun are not adjusted in the same potential. As can be seen from fig. 5 to 7, the convergence of the free electrons is greatly affected, and the smaller the gap between the die hole and the bulk cathode, the better the convergence of the electrons. But the smaller the orifice diameter is not the better. Too small a gap can increase the difficulty of machining and assembly. Because the electron convergence degree is too high, a beam waist is formed before primary focusing, and a larger pulsation amplitude is formed, so that the stability of the electron beam is reduced, and the rigidity is reduced.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art should be considered to be within the technical scope of the present invention, and the technical solutions and the inventive concepts thereof according to the present invention should be equivalent or changed within the scope of the present invention.
