From theory to device construction in electron emission technology

Constructing, modelling, and operating electron emission devices demands a command of both underlying physics and practical engineering realities. Applications of Electron Emission Physics, written by Kevin L. Jensen, an APS Fellow and research physicist at the Naval Research Laboratory, delivers field-tested concepts for building and running cathode ray tubes, field emission, photoemission, and secondary emission devices, grounded in decades of hands-on research and instruction experience.

Applications of Electron Emission Physics covers the realization and operation of electron emission devices alongside a detailed treatment of electron beam physics. The text provides algorithms needed to interpret experimental results obtained with both lab-scale and large-scale electron sources. Included code snippets enable readers to perform their own numerical computations, analyze data, and validate experimental observations against theoretical predictions.

Readers will also find:

  • Field-tested methods for constructing and operating cathode ray tubes, field emission, photoemission, and secondary emission devices
  • A detailed overview of electron beam physics connecting source design to downstream beam transport and performance
  • Algorithmic tools for interpreting experimental results from both laboratory-scale and large-scale electron source configurations
  • Code snippets enabling independent numerical computation, data analysis, and direct comparison of theory with experiment
  • Practice-oriented guidance shaped by the author's extensive research at the Naval Research Laboratory since 1990

Designed for advanced graduate students, PhD candidates, academics, and researchers in solid state physics, materials science, electron transport, and beam physics, this book serves both users and developers of electron sources who require a unified treatment connecting emission theory directly to device construction, operation, and experimental analysis.
