Abstract

The brightness of nanometer-sized field-emission-electron sources have been measured experimentally. Ultrasharp tungsten (111) single-crystal tips were fabricated in situ using Ne sputtering and field evaporation, and monitored using field ion microscopy. The average brightness of single-atom-terminated nanotips was found to be 3.3×108 A cm−2 sr−1 at 470 V, or 7.7×1010 A cm−2 sr−1 when extrapolated to 100 kV. These results show an improvement of about two orders of magnitude in source brightness over existing cold field-emission-electron sources, and produce a beam with greater particle flux per unit energy than those obtainable using current synchrotron/wiggler/undulator devices.
