Abstract :
This paper presents the design of an electron gun employable in THz vacuum tubes. A Multiphysics (MP) approach has been used in the electron gun design in order to study the effect of the multiple influencing factors such as mechanical stress or thermal expansion togheter with charged particle in electrostatic and magnetostatic fields.
