The condition of spent sheet beam is analyzed by using the CST 2016 Particle Studio. The positions distribution and velocity of the sheet beam are also obtained. Based on the analysis of the sheet beam at the entrance of the collector and the characteristics of the sheet beam after the interaction of 220 GHz sheet beam TWT, an efficient and low back streaming current three-stage depressed collector with the rectangular inlet and elliptical cavity shape is proposed. The collector efficiency is about 90% and the back streaming current is only 1.6 mA, which is accounting for 1% of the sheet beam current. This paper can provide some basic guidance for designing multistage depressed collector for 220 GHz sheet beam TWT.","PeriodicalId":170853,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 21st International Conference on Vacuum Electronics (IVEC)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132082962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a deeper understanding of their fundamental operating behavior is crucial before widespread technological integration. It is a widely held hypothesis that the electron emission of scandate cathodes is related to Ba availability on the surfaces of the porous W matrix. In addition, extensive characterization of scandate cathodes motivates an additional hypothesis that high-performance cathodes all contain W nanoparticles of a particular shape. These attributes, Ba availability and nanoparticle shape, are significantly affected by temperature-the former due to desorption and the latter to the temperature-dependence of surface excess free energies. Here, we report computed Ba desorption rates for surfaces at $850^{circ}C$ (operating temperature). We show that total Ba evaporation from the Ba/O-decorated W(110) surface $issim 13$ orders of magnitude higher than the Ba/O-decorated W(112). We also report that temperatures on the order of $850^{circ}C$ imply that chemical environments suffcient to reduce BaO are required to form the W particle shapes observed in high-performing Sc cathodes.","PeriodicalId":170853,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 21st International Conference on Vacuum Electronics (IVEC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122348010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
