Research and Applications of Carbon Nanotube Sources in Vacuum Measurement Technology in LIP

Abstract:

Carbon nanotube (CNT) film has unique field emission characteristics and a series of advantages as an electron or ion source, such as operating at room temperature, stable physical and chemical properties, as well as fast response time, which can be potentially applied to various electronic vacuum devices. 

From aspects of preparation, device design and instrument applications of CNT sources, the talk will present the research work of Lanzhou Institute of Physics in recent years on vacuum instruments or key components, such as ionization vacuum gauge, metrological ultrahigh vacuum gauge, mass spectrometer ion source, standard low-energy ion source, and expound in detail the series of key technologies and characteristics of the new CNT source coupling with the above kinds of electronic vacuum devices.

Microwave Plasma and Terahertz Physics

Abstract:

Breakdown is the major limitation of high power microwave power. Secondary electron multipactor is the key factor triggering breakdown. The mechanism of gas desorption triggerred by multipactor and methods of periodic surface profile and resonant magnet on suppressing multipactor are reported.

The recent developments of Terahertz(THz) wave sources are discussed, especially for traveling wave vacumm tubes, and nonlinear optical difference frequency generation. Ultrafast ps THz switches with low pump fluence based on high photoconductivity of nm film metasurfaces are reported. Pixelated frequency-agile THz metasurfaces for molecular fingerprint sensing are introduced. Calibration-free, high-precision THz sensors for monitoring cancer are reported. We found Terahertz wave enhances permeability of the voltage-gated ion channel, and nonthermally controlls the neuronal signal and behavior, and accelerates associative learning.
