Diamond is a highly interesting material for electron sources because it is not only mechanically robust, chemically inert and thermally conductive, but also exhibits negative electron affinity if the surface is saturated with hydrogen. Due to this special property, diamond has a low work function a...

In our latest publication, we demonstrate that we can divide an electron beam with much higher energy than previously possible into two beams by using a double-layer microwave structure. The working principle of this electron beam splitter is based on the fact that the movement of charged particles ...
