Abstract

In this chapter we will examine the issues in obtaining bright sources of electrons and forming electron beams of submicron cross section. Thermionic emission and field emission are the usual methods of obtaining electron beams having a brightness on the order of 106 A/cm2-steradian. The first sections of this chapter discuss the physics of these processes (Sections 1–5). Subsequent sections discuss electron optics as a method of forming a beam having a submicron cross section; in this presentation we will in part follow the sources.(1–8)
