  • Abstract
    Two conceptual designs of pulsed low energy electron sources (100 to 1000 ns and 1 to 50 keV) are investigated for the modification of surface properties of materials. The first design uses plasma formed on a dielectric, which is excited by a high-frequency pulse generator. The second uses a Micro-Channel Plate (MCP) to form the cathode plasma. Experimental results are presented on the formation of pulsed high-current, low-energy electron beams with large cross-sectional area.
