Field Emitting Arrays (FEAs) are a promising alternative to the conventional cathodes in different vacuum electronic devices such as traveling wave tubes, electron accelerators and etc. Electrical gating and modulation capabilities, together with the ability to produce stable and homogeneous electron beam in high electric field environment are the key requirements for their practical application. Due to relatively high gate capacitance, fast controlling of FEA emission is difficult. In order to achieve sub-nanosecond, electrically controlled, FEA based electron emission a special pulsed gate driver was developed. Bipolar high voltage (HV)pulses are used to rapidly inject and remove charge form FEA gate electrode controlling quickly electron extraction gate voltage. Short electron emission pulses (<600 ps FWHM) were observed in low and high gradient (up to 12 MV/m) environment. First attempts were made to combine FEA based electron emission with radio frequency acceleration structures (1.5 GHz) using pulsed preacceleration. The gate driver design together with low inductance FEA chip contact system is described. The results obtained in low and high gradient experimental setups are presented and discussed.

The properties of the electron source define the ultimate limit of the beam quality in linear accelerators like Free Electron Lasers (FEL). The goal is to develop an electron gun delivering beam emittance lower than current state of the art. Such a g un should reduce the cost and size of an X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). In this paper we present two concepts of field emitter cathodes which could potentially produce low emittance beam. The first challenging parameter for such cathode is to emit peak current as high as 5 A. This is the minimum current requirement for the XFEL concept from Paul Scherrer Institut.1 Maximum current of 0.12 A and 0.58 A have been reached respectively with field emitter arrays (FEA) and single needle cathodes. Laser assisted field emission gave encouraging results to reach even higher peak current and to pre-bunch the beam.

Recent work at Fermilab in collaboration with the Advanced Photon Source and members of other national labs, designed an experiment to study the relationship between the RF repetition rate and the average current per RF pulse. While existing models a nticipate a direct relationship between these two parameters we observed an inverse relationship. We believe this is a result of damage to the barium coating on the cathode surface caused by a change in back-bombardment power that is unaccounted for in the existing theories. These observations shed new light on the challenges and fundamental limitations associated with scaling an un-gated thermionic cathode RF gun to high average current machines.
Excitons are composite bosons that can feature spin singlet and triplet states. In usual semiconductors, without an additional spin-flip mechanism, triplet excitons are extremely inefficient optical emitters. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), with their large spin-orbit coupling, have been of special interest for valleytronic applications for their coupling of circularly polarized light to excitons with selective valley and spin$^{1-4}$. In atomically thin MoSe$_2$/WSe$_2$ TMD van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, the unique atomic registry of vdW layers provides a quasi-angular momentum to interlayer excitons$^{5,6}$, enabling emission from otherwise dark spin triplet excitons. Here, we report electrically tunable spin singlet and triplet exciton emission from atomically aligned TMD heterostructures. We confirm the spin configurations of the light-emitting excitons employing magnetic fields to measure effective exciton g-factors. The interlayer tunneling current across the TMD vdW heterostructure enables the electrical generation of singlet and triplet exciton emission in this atomically thin PN junction. We demonstrate electrically tunability between the singlet and triplet excitons that are generated by charge injection. Atomically thin TMD heterostructure light emitting diodes thus enables a route for optoelectronic devices that can configure spin and valley quantum states independently by controlling the atomic stacking registry.

The spectral characteristics of near-field thermal emission from nanoparticle arrays are explained by comparison to the dispersions for propagating modes. Using the coupled dipole model, we analytically calculate the spectral emission from single par ticles, chains, planes, and 3D arrays of SiO2 and SiC. We show that the differences in their spectra are due to the existence or absence of propagating surface phonon polariton modes and that the emission is dominated by these modes when they are present. This work paves the way for understanding and control of near-field radiation in nanofluids, nanoparticle beds, and certain metamaterials.
Dependence of the secondary electron yield (SEY) from the primary beam incident energy and the coverage has been measured for neon, argon, krypton and xenon condensed on a target at 4.2K. The beam energy ranged between 100 eV and 3 keV, the maximal a pplied coverage have made up 12000, 4700, 2500 and 1400 monolayers correspondingly for neon, argon, krypton and xenon. The SEY results for these coverages can be considered as belonging only to investigated gases without influence of the target material. The SEY dependencies versus the primary beam energy for all gases comprise only an ascending part and therefore, the maximal measured SEY values have been obtained for the beam energy of 3keV and have made up 62, 73, 60.5 and 52 for neon, argon, krypton and xenon correspondingly. Values of the first cross-over have made up 21 eV for neon, 14 eV for argon, 12.5 eV for krypton and 10.5 eV for xenon. An internal field appearing across a film due to the beam impact can considerably affect the SEY measurements that demanded the beam current to be reduced till 9.0E-10A. Duration of the beam impact varied between 500 mu sec and 250 mu sec. It was found that reliable SEY measurements can also be taken on a charged surface if the charge was acquired due to beam impact with electrons of higher energy. All SEY measurements for once applied coverage have been carried out for whole range of incident energies from 3 keV down to 100 eV without renewing the film. Developing of pores inside of a deposited film can significantly increase the SEY as it was observed during warming up the target.
