Noise behaviour of field emission cathode based on lead pencil graphite
Knápek, Alexandr ; Horáček, Miroslav ; Hrubý, František ; Šikula, J. ; Kuparowitz, T. ; Sobola, D.
The paper describes electrical noise of experimental field emission cathodes based on “polymer” pencil leads which have a high content of hybridized carbon with a low degree of surface oxidation and silicon monoxide (SiO). Charge transport within experimental samples is evaluated based on results provided by the noise spectroscopy method. The paper also briefly describes the experimental preparation method of graphite tips based on ion milling which allow obtaining ultrasharp tips of a diameter lower than 100 nm.
Laboratory Investigation of Dust Grain Charging
Beránek, Martin ; Němeček, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Jusko, Pavol (referee) ; Nehasil, Václav (referee)
The present thesis is focused on study of dust grain charging. The experimental part covers interaction between dust grains and high-energy electrons and self-discharging of grains by both field electron emission and field ionization. The second part of the thesis describes construction and evaluation of a linear electrodynamic trap of the novel design. We have observed charging of small dust grains towards high positive electric potentials when bombarded by the high-energy electron beam. We have described an increase of the secondary electron- electron emission yield from negatively charged grains due to the surface field. Further, self-discharging characteristics for both positively and negatively charged grains were measured. The relationship between discharging rate and the rate of the flow of atoms leaving the grain surface due to diffusion was observed for positively charged grains. This suggests significantly lower surface field necessary for ionizing such atoms compared to the ionization of atoms of surrounding gas and compared to the typically published field ionization thresholds. Based on the design published in the master thesis, a linear quadrupole trap of novel design was constructed. Testing measurements confirmed functionality and expected characteristics of the trap. In addition, effects of...
Coulomb Interactions in Electron Beams in the Vicinity of a Schottky and Cold Field Emission Sources
Liška, Ivo ; Kotačka, Libor (referee) ; Radlička, Tomáš (referee) ; Lencová, Bohumila (advisor)
Dizertační práce se zabývá problematikou výpočtu vlivu coulombovských interakcí částic na parametry emitovaného elektronového svazku v blízkosti Schottkyho a studené katody. Práce poskytuje základní předhled o problematice, popisuje vytvořené modely emisních zdrojů a metodu simulace Monte Carlo. Představuje novou metodu generování vstupních dat, která klade větší důraz na přesnou simulaci emisního procesu. Pozornost je zde věnována zejména vlivu interakcí na energiovou šířku, velikost virtuálního zdroje a jas katody v závislosti na velikosti poloměru hrotu a emisním proudu. Sledováním vývoje energiové šířky bylo zjištěno, že naprostá většina interakcí se odehrává v prostoru do několika mikrometrů od hrotu katody. Závislost spočtené celkové energiové šířky na úhlové intenzitě je ve shodě s dostupnými experimentálními daty. Spočtené energiové rozšíření vlivem coulombovských interakcí bylo srovnáno s hodnotami vypočtenými pomocí vzorců založených na analytických přiblíženích. Bylo zjištěno, že některé z nich přijatelně předpovídají trendy ale nemohou být použity pro kvantitativní odhad.
Research and Development of Modern Emission MEMS Sensors
Pekárek, Jan ; Husák, Miroslav (referee) ; Vlach, Radek (referee) ; Vrba, Radimír (advisor)
The dissertation thesis is focused on research and development of modern emission MEMS sensors. The emission sensor based on the field emission from nanostructured materials represents innovative approach to pressure sensing. The nanostructures serve as electron emitter in an electric field between the cathode and anode in the pressure sensor. This electric field is constant and the change in ambient pressure causes the change of distance between electrodes, thereby the electric field is increasing. This intensity is proportional to the emission from the cathode made of nanostructured material. Changing the distance between the electrodes is caused by the deflection of the deformation element - the membrane, which operates the measured pressure. In the current state of the art an extensive research is carried out to find new nanostructured materials with good emission properties. Four nanostructured materials have been chosen and then experimentally prepared and characterized inside the vacuum chamber. For the simulation of diaphragm bending, the chamber is equipped with linear nano-motion drive SmarAct that enables precise changes of the distance between two electrodes inside the vacuum chamber. The computer model to predict the deformation of diaphragm was prepared in the simulation program CoventorWare. The behavior of diaphragm in a wide range of dimensions of the membrane, its thickness and the applied pressure are possible to predict. The dependencies of the current density on the electric field are plotted from the measured emission characteristics of nanostructured materials and thus characterized nanostructured materials can be compared. The dependencies are further converted by Fowler-Nordheimovy theory on the curve (ln(J/E2) vs. 1/E), whose advantage is linear shape. Basic parameters describing the emission properties of characterized nanostructured materials are deducted. Two methods for vacuum packaging of the sensor electrodes are designed. Anodic bonding technology and encapsulating using glass frit bonding are tested. To evaluate the bonding strength, the bonded substrates are tested for tensile strength.

This work deals with the theoretical foundations of electron emission into vacuum, various types of emissions, focused on the cold-emission and Schottky emission and the principle of quantum tunneling. The next part deals with the technical implementation of electron sources with a detailed study of the methodology of laboratory production of cathodes by electrochemical etching and construction of electron microscopes, using field-emission sources. This work also contains methods for measuring, processing and evaluation of electrical characteristics of emission sources.
Methodics of characterisation for the cold field-emission sources intended for electron microscopy
Štrbková, Lenka ; Grmela, Lubomír (referee) ; Knápek, Alexandr (advisor)
Téma diplomové práce je zaměřeno na metodiku charakterizace autoemisního zdroje pro elektronový mikroskop. Použitá metoda – Fowlerova-Nordheimova analýza je založená na přítomnosti kvantového tunelování, ke kterému dochází v průběhu autoemise elektronů. Práce je obsahově dělena na teoretický úvod do problematiky a praktickou část. Teoretický úvod popisuje emisi elektronů, kvantové tunelování a vlastnosti emisních zdrojů. Druhá část diplomové práce se věnuje experimentální analýze autoemisní katody. Součástí analýzy je výpočet základních charakteristik této katody. Vypočtené hodnoty stanovují celkovou kvalitu elektronové emise a zároveň poskytují informace o aktuálním stavu autoemisní katody. Výsledky F-N analýzy jsou poté srovnány s výsledky počítačové simulace autoemise elektronů. Simulace je provedena v programu COMSOL Multiphysics, který k výpočtu používá metodu konečných prvků a je nástrojem pro hodnocení významu a přesnosti Fowlerovy-Nordheimovy analýzy.
