Numerical simulation of a trochoidal electron monochromator

Abstract: The trochoidal electron monochromator (TEM) has been investigated in numerical simulation using the SIMION 8.0 package. Electron trajectory calculations have been carried out for a large number of initial electrons. The electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs) of the TEM have been obtained from the simulations as functions of various monochromator parameters (magnetic field, electric field, geometry, acceleration potential). The influence of the parameters on the performance of the TEM has been discussed… Show more

“…In addition to experiments using the Ar synchrotron radiation source described above, experiments have also been performed using a TEM, 15 the principle of operation of which has most recently been reviewed in ref. 16. Very briefly, energy selection operates through the electron energy dependence of the physical displacement of an electron beam, generated from a filament, in a crossed E-B field.…”

“…A simple scheme of the device is shown in the figure 1. The electron beam was generated by trochoidal electron monochromator with heated tungsten filament used as electron source [18]. The energetic resolution of the electron beam was approximately 300 meV and the electron current measured by the faraday cup was 900 nA and was within 5% of this value in the range from 4 eV up to 100 eV.…”

“…A resistively heated tungsten hairpin filament was used as a source of electrons. The electron beam was formed by a trochoidal electron monochromator [21]. Electrons were energetically selected in a dispersion region by their applied perpendicular electric field (0-10 V) and axial magnetic field (5 × 10 −3 T).…”
