摘要
Generation of a sheet beam directly from a scandia-doped dispenser cathode has been investigated and optimized by means of beam-profile simulations and measurements. Rectangular beams 600 mu m wide and 100 mu m thick with current densities over 50 A/cm(2) have been generated. The beams are stable for at least several hundred hours with the cathodes operating at 950 degrees C-b, making them promising candidates for application in the next generation of terahertz vacuum electron devices such as a 0.5-THz superradiant Smith-Purcell radiation source.
