Description
Verfahren zur Erhöhung der Sekundäremissionsausbeute von sekundäremissionsfähigen Schichten Es hat sich gezeigt, daß Alkalimetalle bei Beschießung mit Elektronen in kompakter Form verhältnismäßig geringe Ausbeuten an Sekundärelektronen ergeben. Man ist deshalb dazu übergegangen, Alkalimetalle als dünne Schichten auf oxydierte Metallunterlagen aufzubringen. Die Ausbeute an Sekundärelektronen ist dann wesentlich größer. Man ist auch schon so vorgegangen, daß man, insbesondere bei den Erdalkalimetallen., Schichten auf Metallunterlagen aufgedampft und diese dann einer Temperatur- oder Sauerstoffbehandlung unterworfen hat. Die Größe des jeweils erzielten Sekundärelektronenfaktors hängt naturgemäß außer von dem Behandlungsverfahren von den jeweils verwendeten Stoffen (Metallunterlage und sekundäremissionsempfindliche Schicht) ab. So ergeben oxydierte Alkalimetalle auf Metallunterlagen bekanntlich eine höhere Ausbeute als in gleicher Weise behandelte Erdalkalimetallschichten. Die vorliegende Erfindung befaßt sich mit einem Verfahren zur Erhöhung der Sekundäremission. Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß die sekundäremissionsfähige Schicht eine bestimmte Zeit lang einer Glimmentladung in einem chemisch inaktiven Gas, beispielsweise Edelgas, ausgesetzt wird. Als besonders günstig haben sich Aufdampfschichten von Alkali-bzw. Erdalkalimetallen auf Wolfram-,. Silber-und Tantalunterlagen erwiesen. Auch oxydierte Aufdampfschichten können nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren behandelt werden.Method for increasing the secondary emission yield of secondary emissive Layers It has been shown that alkali metals when bombarded with electrons result in relatively low yields of secondary electrons in compact form. One has therefore gone over to oxidizing alkali metals as thin layers Apply metal pads. The yield of secondary electrons is then essential greater. One has already proceeded in such a way that, especially with the alkaline earth metals., Layers evaporated on metal substrates and these then a temperature or Has subjected to oxygen treatment. The size of the secondary electron factor achieved in each case naturally depends not only on the treatment method but also on the one used Substances (metal base and secondary emission-sensitive layer). So devoted oxidized alkali metals on metal substrates are known to have a higher yield than alkaline earth metal layers treated in the same way. The present invention deals with a method to increase secondary emissions. The invention is that the secondary emissive layer lasts for a certain time exposed to a glow discharge in a chemically inactive gas, for example noble gas will. Evaporation layers of alkali or. Alkaline earth metals on tungsten ,. Silver and tantalum backing proven. Also oxidized vapor deposition can be treated according to the method according to the invention.
Ein Beispiel soll zeigen, welche Erfolge mit dem Verfahren nach der Erfindung erzielbar sind.An example should show the successes achieved with the procedure according to the Invention are achievable.
Eine auf Silber aufgedampfte Berylliumschicht zeigte ohne Vorbehandlung einen Sekundäremissionsfaktor zwischen 1,2 und 1,5. Nach z1/2stündiger Glimmentladung im Argon gemäß der Erfindung dagegen konnte ein Sekundüremissionsfaktor in der Größe von 3,2 bis 3,5 erhalten werden. Wesentlich ist hierbei die Glimmentladung. Die alleinige Berührung der jeweiligen Schicht mit einem inaktiven Gas,, insbesondere Edelgas, reicht nicht aus, um einer Erhöhung der Ausbeute an Sekundärelektronen zu erzielen. Bei Ver-' Wendung von Edelgasen wählt man etwa einen Druck zwischen i und io inm Hg.A beryllium layer vapor-deposited on silver showed a secondary emission factor between 1.2 and 1.5 without pretreatment. After about 1/2 hour glow discharge in argon according to the invention, on the other hand, a secondary emission factor of 3.2 to 3.5 could be obtained. The glow discharge is essential here. The mere contact of the respective layer with an inactive gas, in particular noble gas, is not sufficient to achieve an increase in the yield of secondary electrons. When using noble gases one chooses a pressure between i and io in Hg.
