The energy distribution in an electron; beam from an electron gun provided with a biased Wehnelt cylinder was measured by a retarding potential analyser. All the measurements were carried out with a beam of small angular divergence (<3xl0-4 rad) to eliminate the apparent increase of energy width as pointed out by Ichinokawa.The cross section of the beam from a gun with a tungsten hairpin cathode varies as shown in Fig.1a with the bias voltage Vg. The central part of the beam was analysed. An example of the integral curve as well as the energy spectrum is shown in Fig.2. The integral width of the spectrum ΔEi varies with Vg as shown in Fig.1b The width ΔEi is smaller than the Maxwellian width near the cut-off. As |Vg| is decreased, ΔEi increases beyond the Maxwellian width, reaches a maximum and then decreases. Note that the cross section of the beam enlarges with decreasing |Vg|.

AbstractThe article presents the results of a study of characteristic X-ray spectra of free atoms by means of a new simple technique. A pulsed electron beam was used for evaporation and to create inner-shell vacancies in free atoms of metals. The spectra were obtained with the help of an X-ray monochromator which allowed precise comparison between the free-atoms spectra and corresponding solid-state spectra. The shifts of the peaks were measured and found to be in the range Δλ/λ≈10−5–10−4. The K-, L- and M-series spectra were studied. A number of the free-atoms spectra revealed structure which was not resolved in the solid-state spectra and which is of interest for atomic structure calculation applications. This electron beam technique for the investigation of X-ray characteristic spectra of free atoms can be used for the refinement of X-ray wavelength standards.
