Using a high fewer electron beam gun (max. power 20 kW), Gadolinium (Gd, atomic number 64) metal was melted and the temperature distribution of melted surface was measured. With proper optical filters and the adjustment of aperture of lens, the radiation of melted surface was received by a ccd camera and its signal transferred to a computer. The real time monitoring of melted surface with a variation of electron beam Power was Possible and stable operation of electron beam was achieved. It was found that the max. temperature measured by a ccd camera with an assumption of blackbody radiation of melted Gd surface and adaption of Planet's law was above 100~$200^{\circ}C$ compared to that measured by a pyrometer in the same e-beam power.

Cathode ray tubes (CRT) are the most common electronic display in use in information technology. The CRT consists of an electron gun, electrostatic or magnetic fields to direct the electron beam, and a phosphor screen. When the electron beam strikes the phosphor screen, the phosphor generates light. The phosphor screen has formed by precipitation method, electro-forming and centrifuge method. The high quality product was achieved by electro-forming or centrifuge method. Now applying method is electro-forming used with phosphor and Eh(isopropyl alcohol). Now applying method has been much consumption of raw-material, dirty working environment, dangerous fire and require of high cost. New method to form phosphor surface of monochrome is required to improve this matter. This study was developed novel method to form the phosphor surface by heat-transfer method. This method have advantages of simple process, automatization, clean environment, saving raw material and saving running-cost.

본 논문에서는 입력부, 특고압 발생부 및 고압 정류부, IGBT Pulse Switch로 구성된 Gyro-klystron용 대전력, 고전압, 전류 펄스 전원장치의 설계 및 개발에 대하여 기술하였다. 대전력, 고전압, 전류 펄스 전원장치를 위한 각 구성부분의 제어 및 설계 특징은 다음과 같다. 입력부인 IGBT Inverter는 펄스 전원장치의 전압 제어를 위하여 출력 고전압을 Feedback System 제어에 의해 Pulse 설정 전압을 갖도록 제어하며, 또한 Pulse 출력중에 직류 고전압부의 전압강하, 즉 Pulse 전압의 Drop이 커지는 것을 방지하기 위하여 Fast Dynamics를 갖도록 Feedback System을 구성하였다. 3대의 단상 특고압 승압변압기가 직렬로 구성된 특고압 발생부는 PWM된 전압을 입력받아 특고압으로 승압시킨다. 특고압 변압기는 고압 Pulse성 전압과 매우 높은 dV/dt 전압이 인가되므로 Stray Capacitance가 최소가 되어야 하며 절연파괴로부터 보호될 수 있어야 한다. 고압 정류부는 Inverter와 특고압변압기에 의하여 전원이 공급되므로 교류전압의 교번순간에 매우 높은 전압 변동률을 가지는 Fast Recovery High Voltage Rectifier로 설계, 제작되어졌다. Pulse Switch인 IGBT Switch는 Gate Driver에 의해 구동되어 진다. 주어진 Pulse 사양을 만족시키며 특히 소자의 전압 특성을 고려하여 120KV의 전압값을 갖도록 설계, 제작하였다. 본 논문에서는 고전압 펄스 전원장치 각 부분의 설계에 대하여 기본적인 사항들을 제시하며, 실험결과를 통하여 제안된 방식의 우수한 특성을 입증한다.

The velocity of gadolinium(Gd) atomic vapor vaporized by an electron beam was measured by a microbalance. The velocity of about 900 ㎧ was obtained at an evaporation surface temperature of 2400-2500 K. The measured value was approximately 100 ㎧ faster than the maximum velocity of an ideal monatomic gas in an adiabatic expansion. This phenomenon can be explained that the internal energy of Gd atoms populated in higher excited levels at the high temperature should be convened to kinetic energy during adiabatic expansion. The calculated velocity agrees with the measured one when 100 excited energy levels are included in an enthalpy term for the velocity calculation. The characteristics of vapor flow as a function of heated surface temperature are also reported.

A hollow cathode which has extremely stable discharge characteristic has been developed. This is composed of the two separated lanthanum hexaboride(LaB6) of a disk type in the tube as the electron emitters. The way of design is of great advantage to extend the surface discharge area of the LaB6, which is also useful for optimal fixing of the LaB6. The hollow cathode is capable of producing 30 kW(100 V, 300 A) of power continuously. Because the generated plasma beam with the high temperature(above $3000^{\circ}C$) from the hollow cathode passes through the center hole of the two intermediate electrodes, it is designed with the high temperature material of the tungsten and the suitable structure of the water cooling. The combinations of the hollow cathode and the two intermediate electrodes are practically useful for the ion plating plasma beam source.

The design, manufacturing process, and first operating test of a high power RF source for a proton accelerator are described. A klystron amplifier system has been developed for operation at 700 MHz, 1 MW and is composed of a triode type electron gun, six cavities, an RF output window, a beam collector, and an electromagnet. The prototype klystron was constructed and tested at a reduced duty to produce the designed output RF power.

A high-brightness electron beam source for a microfocus X-ray tube has been fabricated using a carbon-nanotube (CNT) field emitter. The electron source consists of cathode that includes a CNT field emitter, a beam-extracting grid, and an anode that accelerates that electron beam. The microfocus X-ray tube requires an electron beam with the diameter of less than 5 $\mu$m and beam current of higher than 30 $\mu$A at the position of the X-ray target. To satisfy the requirements, the geometries of the field emitter tips and the electrodes of the gun was optimized by calculating the electron trajectories and beam spatial profile with EGUN code. The CNT tips were fabricated with successive steps: a tungsten wire with the diameter of 200 $\mu$m was chemically etched and was subsequently coated with CNTs by chemical vapor deposition. The experiments of electron emission at the fabricated CNT tips were performed. The design characteristics and basic experimental results of the electron source are reported.
