Abstract

1,197,070. Electron-beam apparatus. SANDERS ASSOCIATES Inc. 13 July, 1967 [13 July, 1966], No. 32363/67. Heading H1D. Electrons are focused on to a crucible 10 by means of a conical member 16 made e.g. of heat-resistant glass or fused quartz. The crucible is at a much higher potential than the emissive cathode 15 and hence constitutes an anode. The hollow cathode may be filled with a coolant and has a concave emissive surface having a focal point at the anode. By means of an exhaust pump 22 and gas supply 23 a constant pressure of argon between 10-100 micron Hg. is maintained. Gas evolved by the contents of the crucible 10 is removed by the pump. The cone 16 may be replaced by two overlapping cones, that nearest the crucible being made of a more refractory material. Alternatively, to achieve the same effect, a single cone may have portions made of different materials. The apparatus may be used as a source of ultra-violet or infra-red radiation, or for etching or machining materials, in which case the conical member may be movable.
