摘要:
Accurate computer simulations of electron guns based on finite element methods for electrostatic field calculation are described Discrete and semi analytic models for thermionic cathode emission currents are presented, the initial. conditions used for the electrons at the cathode are discussed and the affects of different approximations are analyzed for an axisymmetric triode electron gun. Results from models that use local one dimensional approximations are compared to a full discrete simulation.
