Stability of Field Electron Emission and Vacuum Breakdown. Investigations with Field Emission Microscopy and Auger Electron Spectroscopy

Abstract

FEM- and AES-investigations show that the long time stability of field emission from metals is determined more by corrosive surface reactions than by simple gas adsorption or cathode sputtering. Corrosion is produced by H2O or organic vapours, but also by CO, even with partial pressures <10−10 Torr. Bombardment of corrosion layers with secondary ions has two striking effects: 1. The layers are reduced as shown by AES; therefore field emission has a cleaning effect for the cathode. 2. With heavily corroded surfaces there occur strong emission pulses. They are connected with the appearance of “molecular patterns” in the FEM, and with micro-discharges in vacuum gaps. Untersuchungen mit FEM und AES zeigen, das sich das Restgas auf die Langzeitstabilitat der Feldemission von Metallen in hoherem Mase durch Oberflachenkorrosion auswirkt, als durch einfache Gasadsorption oder Katodenzerstaubung. Korrosion wird von H2O und von organischen Dampfen verursacht, aber auch von CO, bereits bei Partialdrucken <10−10 Torr. Beschus der Korrosionsschichten mit Sekundarionen hat zwei auffallige Auswirkungen: 1. Die Schichten werden teilweise zerstort, wie AES-Messungen deutlich zeigen. Deshalb hat die Feldemission eine Reinigungswirkung auf die Katode. 2. Bei starker Korrosion treten impulsformige Emissionsinstabilitaten auf. Sie ausern sich als „Molekulbilder” in FEM und als Mikroentladungen in Vakuumstrecken.
