Abstract:
The accelerating electrode of a four-dimensional transmission electron microscope electron gun is modeled. The general expression of the electric-field distribution is derived for any point on the axis in a cylindrical coordinate system, and equations for the shape parameters of the electrode plate are obtained. The accuracy of the field expression is determined for different electrode plate parameters, and the shape parameters of the electron gun electrode are further investigated. This work can provide a theoretical basis for the initial design of a transmission electron microscope electron gun and the retrofit design of a four-dimensional electron gun.
