Electron Sources

By Applied Physics Technologies

Our deep knowledge of the physics of electron emission stems from decades of basic research and electron source development.

CeBix®(100) 1.0 mm Top Hat Cambridge MVM

Low work function CeBix®(100), 2.5 eV Lifetimes of up to 5000 hours reported Lower volatility than LaB 6 Top-hat geometry on mini-Vogel mount (MVM) Sample Operation Data: Lowest heat setting where beam is stable, vacuum <10-6 torr

Thermal Field Emitters

Our zirconiated tungsten thermal field emitters (ZrOW TFE), are the industry-standard for applications requiring high brightness, improved spatial resolution, stable emission, and long life.

Cold Field Emitters

We grow and process our own single-crystal tungsten in-house. Our etch processes can be tailored to customers’ requirements and are tightly controlled to guarantee quality and consistency.

Thermionic Emitters

We grow and fabricate our own high-quality, single-crystal LaB6 and CeBix® in-house using a process that produces the purest and lowest work function material commercially available.
