Abstract
A pulsed electron source employing a liquid-metal cathode and operatin g in the explosive electron-emission mode is described. The source ope rates over a voltage range of 10 to 40 kV. The cathode operating frequ ency reaches 1500 Hz. The source can be used both as a point emitter i n various vacuum-tube devices and as an element of the multi-emitter s ource with a large cross-sectional area of electron flux.
