  • This invention relates to electron discharge devices and more particularly to electrode systems, such as disclosed in the applications Serial No. 307,232, led December 2, 1939, of Myron S. Glass and Serial No. 307,255, filed December 2, 1939, of Robert C. Winans, for producing a concentrated stream of electrons in electron beam discharge devices.
  • Electron beam discharge devices comprise in general an electron source, such as a cathode, an electron receiving element, such as a uorescent screen or one or more targets, an electrode system for concentrating the electrons into a stream of desired cross-section, and means for controlling the intensity or direction, or both, of the electron beam.
  • One general object of this invention is to enable the construction of electron guns having predetermined desired characteristics. More specifically, objects of this invention are:
  • an electron beam discharge device comprises a cathode, an electron receiving element such as an output electrode, and an electrode system between the cathode and anode for concentrating the electrons emanating from the cathode into a beamof desired configuration and cross-sectional area.
  • the electrode system comprises a pair of apertured electrodes aligned with the emissive surface of the cathode and juxtaposed surfaces of these electrodes are so constructed and arranged that, in the presence of complete space charge, the potential along any line normal to the emissive surface varies with distance from the cathode surface, over a substantial portion of the distance between the cathode and the electrode furthest removed therefrom, essentially in a predetermined manner.
  • this potential may vary essentially as the potenl tial varies between infinite parallel planes, one
  • cathode or between concentric cylindrical electrodes, one a cathode.

  • Fig. 9 is a detail view mainly in section illustrative of another embodiment of this invention.
  • the electron discharge device shown in Fig. 1 comprises an evacuated enclosing vessel I having at one end thereof an inwardly extending stem II, from which a unitary electrode assembly is supported, the stem II terminating in a press I2 in which leading-in conductors for the various electrodes are sealed.
  • the electrode assembly comprises a pair of parallel insulating uprights or frames I3, for example, U-shaped mica sheets, afxed to rigid wires or supports I4 by a U-shaped fastening strip I5, the supports Il being aflixed to a metallic collar or band I6 clamped about the stem II.
  • Supported in axial alignment by and between the insulating uprights I3 are a cathode, a modulating electrode I1, an anode I8, pairs of defiector plates I3 and 20, and a target or output electrode 2l.
  • the modulating electrode I1 may be a metallic block, for example of copper, which is affixed to a pair of U-shaped metallic bands 26 as by screws 21, the arms of the bands 26 being affixed to the insulating uprights I3. As shown clearly in Fig. 2, the modulatingelectrode I1 is provided with a channel or recess 28 in which the cathode is positioned and with a surface 29 in axial alignment with the surface 23 of the cathode and of a configuration to be described hereinafter. The modulating electrode may be affixed also to the U-shaped fastening strip I and electrical connection thereto may be established through a tie wire 30 connected to one of the leading-in conductors in the press I2 and to one of the uprights I4.
  • the deflector plates I3 and 20 may be metallic plates, for example, of nickel, supported by U- shaped strips 38 secured to the uprights I3, and are mounted on opposite sides of and equally spaced from a plane passing through the aperture 31 and cathode surface 23. Suitable potentials may be applied to the deflector plates I3 and 2l) through connections including tie wires 39 afxed to the strips 38. As shown in Fig. 1, one of the deflector plates 20 may be provided with a flange or lip 4I) extending toward and terminating short of the plane of the other deflector plate 20.

  • the electrons emanating from the cathode surface 23 are concentrated into a beam and accelerated toward the target or output electrode 2 I
  • the beam may be deected through potentials impressed upon the deflector plates and may be so deflected to such an extent that it impinges upon the flange or lip 40 so that the space or beam current to the target 2l is cut off.
  • the intensity of the beam may be controlled through the application of a modulating potential upon the electrode I1.
  • the efciency and operating characteristics of the device will be dependent upon the proportion of the electrons emanating from the cathode surface 23 which form the beam and upon the character of the pathstraversed by the individual Satisfactory and efficient operation require that a large proportion of the electrons emanating from the surface 23 go into the electron beam and that these electrons follow rectilinear paths which may be parallel or converging toward or diverging from a common focus.
  • These factors are dependent largely upon the character of the fields through which the electrons pass and the accurate determination of these fields is complicated, as noted heretofore, by space charge effects.
  • v electrons are assumed to move in a beam according to known solutions of the space charge equations.
  • electrodes are provided of such shape that the boundary conditions are consistent with the electron motion assumed.

  • the problem is to determine what the field outside of the beam must be in order that the electrons move as desired in the beam.
  • a From the foregoing, it will be noted that a4 and and and In order that there will not be a dipole layer at the bundary of the beam, must equal and in order that there will not be' a surface charge at the boundary of the beam,
  • the potential and iield must be continuous in passing through the boundary of the beam.
  • the second derivative of the potential is discontinuous at the boundary of the beam, changing by an amount proportional to the discontinuity in charge density in passing through the boundary.
  • the nature of the eld outside of the beam is determined by the fact that the potential outside of the beam must match the potential of the beam and must have zero gradient normal to the beam boundary.
  • the potential outside of the beam will' be :A(:c+y) 4/3, real (8)
  • the potential may be expressed as Cos 4/3 0:0 and 0:67.5 degrees

  • Which of the curves Z1, Zz, Za or other similar curves is used in one particular case as the basis for forming surface 36 is a matter of choice dependent upon the results desired. The results obtainable with surfaces corresponding to the various curves will be clear from the following considerations.
  • the beam converges along radii of the surface 23 to a center ro.
  • the beam will be l/4 as wide at the electrode 35 as at the cathode.
  • the beam will be 1/2 as wide at the electrode 35 'as at the cathode.
  • the aperture 31 will have, of course, a diverging lens effect the focal length. 0f which ma! be determined from the relation.
  • D is the distancel between the cathode and the anode, measured from the mid-point of surface 23 to the end of aperture 31 nearest this surface, the end of the aperture 31 being taken at the line where the surface 36 would intersect the plane of symmetry of the electrode surfaces if the surface 3B were continuous and not apertured.
  • the surfaces 29h and 36h may be planar and substantially parallel, the surface 29h making an angle of somewhat more than 67.5 degrees, for example, approximately 90 degrees, with the normal tothe edge of the cathode surface 23h.

When the electrode I1 is used for modulation, the spacing between the boundary of the surface 23 and the inner edges of the surface 29 should be as small as practicably possible in order to minimize divergence of the electrons emanating from the surface 23.
  • the beam will be focussed upon the slit or aperture 31 when the electrode I1 is at zero potential and for this potential the current through the slit is a maximum. If the electrode l1 is made negative with respect to the cathode, the cathode current will be reduced and the focussing of the beam will be reduced so that the current through the slit or aperture 31 will be reduced by two factors.
  • the voltage of the electrode l1 should be zero for maximum current.
  • the electrode should have a bias suiiiciently negative with respect to the cathode so that at peak signal intensity, the potential of electrode I1 is just zero.
