Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a photoelectron source or photocathode technology, in particular to a novel photoelectron source of a dielectric material system.
Background
Electron sources, or electron guns or cathodes, are important components of various electron microscopes. The electron sources can be classified into thermal emission sources, field emission sources, and photoelectron sources (or photocathodes) according to excitation. The thermal emission and field emission sources enable material electrons to directly escape from the surface of a sample through thermal effect or high-voltage electric field; the photoelectron source is formed by laser incident on the electron gun, and electrons on the surface of the electron gun material escape from the surface of the sample against work function through the processes of photoelectric effect and the like. The most prominent application of the photoelectron source is as an ultrafast electron source of various ultrafast electron microscopic imaging and ultrafast electron diffraction apparatuses. The principle is that an electron source is excited by ultra-short pulses such as femtosecond laser and the like to generate ultra-short electronic pulses, so that various ultra-fast physical and chemical processes in a sample are detected. The specific scheme is as follows: the ultra-short pulse laser generated by a laser is firstly split, one beam of light is directly incident on a sample and excites a series of photophysical and photochemical dynamic processes in the material; the other beam of light is incident on the electron gun to generate ultra-short electron pulse and is transmitted to the sample, and the evolution of the dynamic process inside the material can be detected by changing the time delay between the electron pulse and the first beam of incident light, and the evolution is specifically reflected to the change of electron imaging or electron diffraction spots at different moments, and the corresponding instrument is called an ultra-fast electron microscope (Ultrafast electron microscopy, UEM) and an ultra-fast electron diffraction (Ultrafast electron diffraction, UED).
Currently, photoelectronic sources can be classified into planar photocathodes and tip photocathodes according to design structures. Common materials for planar photocathodes include gold, silver, copper, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB 6), etc., and common materials for tip photocathodes include tungsten, tungsten-zirconium oxide (W-ZrO), tantalum (Ta), etc. The planar photocathode has the advantages of small electron emission angle, larger source area, generally more than tens of micrometers, and the tip photocathode has the advantages of smaller source area, optimally up to tens of nanometers, and larger electron emission angle influenced by tip effect. In order to increase the coherence of electrons, an ideal photoelectron source should have both a small emission area and emission angle and a relatively small energy spread of electrons. It would therefore be very helpful to the practice to design a new type of photoelectron source to have both of the above advantages, and the present invention would provide an effective solution to this problem.

Hexagonal boron nitride has a wide band gap of up to 6eV, so that the hexagonal boron nitride has a wide transparent window from infrared to deep ultraviolet, and a very large range is provided for the selection of the wavelength of an excitation light source. Meanwhile, the hexagonal boron nitride has extremely high refractive index in an optical band, and the refractive index is more than 2.0 from infrared to deep ultraviolet, so that a necessary condition is provided for the design of a micro-nano optical structure. In addition, hexagonal boron nitride is a van der Waals type layered material with an atomically flat surface, which is advantageous for forming small angle photoelectron exits. The design of the photoelectron source will be described below using a hexagonal boron nitride material as an example, but the practical application is not limited to this material. The micro-nano structure design is to form an optical field local area exceeding the diffraction limit by designing a micro-nano structure based on a dielectric slab waveguide, so that an ultra-small size electron source emission area of tens of nanometers is formed. Meanwhile, through the micro-nano structure design and the combination of parameters such as polarization, vortex and the like of incident light, the spatial mode distribution of the intensity of the photoelectron source and the like can be regulated and controlled. The overall configuration of the photoelectron source is provided by combining material selection, structural design and excitation light source parameters.

Meanwhile, the distribution of the local light field modes can be regulated and controlled by controlling parameters such as wavelength, polarization and vortex of incident light, so that the spatial mode distribution of emergent electronic pulses is regulated and controlled, for example, the distribution of the local light field modes on the surface of hexagonal boron nitride can be changed by controlling polarization of the incident light, and the transverse distribution of the emergent electronic pulses is regulated and controlled; by changing the incident wavelength, the central region can be a focused single point or a circular ring (the center is a dark point), so that the emergent electron beam is in solid distribution or annular distribution.
The overall configuration of the photoelectron source comprises: and (3) the ultra-short pulse laser is incident into a hexagonal boron nitride micro-nano structure area, then the micro-nano structure couples incident light into a hexagonal boron nitride dielectric waveguide, and a local optical field mode exceeding the diffraction limit is formed by focusing in the central area of the structure. The local light field mode has strong near field intensity, and can effectively excite photoelectron emission through photoelectric effect, so that a planar photoelectron source with ultra-small emission area is formed. The incidence direction of the ultra-short pulse laser can be normal incidence or reverse incidence. Because the selected substrate and the wide forbidden band semiconductor are both high transparent materials, the incidence of laser from the back and the emission of electrons from the front can be realized, which provides great convenience for the design and practical work of the photoelectron source. The laser wavelength is selected from the near infrared to the ultraviolet band. The excitation light wavelength, polarization and vortex parameters can regulate and control the spatial distribution of photoelectron source modes. The incident light of the visible light wave band is selected, so that two-photon or multi-photon light emission can be realized, and the small emission angle and narrow electron energy distribution are realized at the same time. Thus, an ideal photoelectron source with ultra-small emission area, small emission angle and narrow electron broadening is formed, and the characteristics of the electronic pulse can be conveniently controlled by light field regulation. Meanwhile, the design supports the generation of an ultra-fast photoelectron source, and ultra-short electronic pulses can be generated by adopting ultra-short pulse excitation.

The hexagonal boron nitride thickness is selected to be moderate to support the TE (transverse electric field) mode of the fundamental mode, for example, for 400-450nm incident light, the hexagonal boron nitride thickness H is preferably 50-100 nm. The thickness of the ITO is as thin as possible to reduce absorption loss of the ITO to the waveguide mode, and the substrate is selected from a glass substrate or other transparent materials with low refractive index. By means of micro-nano processing technology such as focused ion beam etching, electron beam exposure and the like, an etched micro-nano structure is formed on hexagonal boron nitride, incident light can be coupled, a local light field mode is formed, and therefore photoelectron sources with specific spatial distribution are generated.

For the wave band of 400-450nm, the two-photon light emission process is needed to overcome the work function of hexagonal boron nitride to generate photoelectron emission, so that the photoelectron source has the following functionsProviding ultra-small emission angles and narrower electron broadening.
