AbstractThe dynamic behavior of a test sample during and shortly after it has been irradiated by an intense relativistic electron beam (REB) is of great interest to the study of beam energy deposition. Since the sample densities are far beyond the cutoff in the optical region, flash x-radiography techniques have been developed to diagnose the evolution of the samples. The conventional approach of analyzing the dynamic behavior of solid densities utilizes one or more short x-ray bursts to record images on photographic emulsion. This technique is not useful in the presence of the intense x-rays from the REB interacting with the sample. We report two techniques for isolating the film package from the REB x-ray pulse.One arrangement employs a microchannel plate electron multiplier array (CEMA) to convert the incident x-ray linage to an amplified electron “image,” This image is proximity focused onto an aluminized plastic scintillator held at 5-10 kV relative to the CEMA output face. A streak camera shielded from the x-rays is used to record the time varying image on the 2 ns persistence scintillator. The resolution limitation is primarily that of the image converter, i.e., 5 ns and 5 line pairs/mm.To achieve higher sensitivity and resolution, an arrangement employing two microchannel plates has been developed. In this device, two channel plates are immersed in a long uniform solenoidal magnetic field; the electrons generated by the first plate are guided by the magnetic field lines to the second plate which increases the system gain by > 103. Placed a few mm behind the second plate is a phosphor screen which in turn is directly connected to film via a fiber optic face plate. In this way, isolation of the x-ray burst from the long persistence phosphor and film is achieved by using a long solenoid. The temporal resolution (approximately 3 ns) can be gained by the appropriate gating of the channeltron plates and/or grids. The spatial resolution is governed by the channel plate “pores” size, by electron orbit characteristics in the solenoidal magnetic field, and by the effective x-ray source geometry.By using these two methods, nanosecond time resolved x-ray pinhole photographs and flash x-ray radiograph of REB initiated events have been achieved.

The interaction of electron beams with a large variety of materials for information storage has been the subject of numerous proposals and studies in the recent literature. The materials range from photographic to thermoplastic and magnetic, and the interactions with the electron beam for writing and reading the information utilize the energy, or the current, or even the magnetic field associated with the electron beam.

It is well-known that electron-beam irradiation within the electron microscope can induce a variety of surface reactions. In the particular case of maximally-valent transition-metal oxides (TMO), which are susceptible to electron-stimulated desorption (ESD) of oxygen, it is apparent that the final reduced product depends, amongst other things, upon the ionicity of the original oxide, the energy and current density of the incident electrons, and the residual microscope vacuum. For example, when TMO are irradiated in a high-resolution electron microscope (HREM) at current densities of 5-50 A/cm2, epitaxial layers of the monoxide phase are found. In contrast, when these oxides are exposed to the extreme current density probe of an EM equipped with a field emission gun (FEG), the irradiated area has been reported to develop either holes or regions almost completely depleted of oxygen. ’ In this paper, we describe the responses of three TMO (WO3, V2O5 and TiO2) when irradiated by the focussed probe of a Philips 400ST FEG TEM, also equipped with a Gatan 666 Parallel Electron Energy Loss Spectrometer (P-EELS). The multi-channel analyzer of the spectrometer was modified to take advantage of the extremely rapid acquisition capabilities of the P-EELS to obtain time-resolved spectra of the oxides during the irradiation period. After irradiation, the specimens were immediately removed to a JEM-4000EX HREM for imaging of the damaged regions.

Abstract. Direct observations of magnetic-field-aligned (parallel) electric fields in the downward current region of the aurora provide decisive evidence of naturally occurring double layers. We report measurements of parallel electric fields, electron fluxes and ion fluxes related to double layers that are responsible for particle acceleration. The observations suggest that parallel electric fields organize into a structure of three distinct, narrowly-confined regions along the magnetic field (B). In the "ramp" region, the measured parallel electric field forms a nearly-monotonic potential ramp that is localized to ~ 10 Debye lengths along B. The ramp is moving parallel to B at the ion acoustic speed (vs) and in the same direction as the accelerated electrons. On the high-potential side of the ramp, in the "beam" region, an unstable electron beam is seen for roughly another 10 Debye lengths along B. The electron beam is rapidly stabilized by intense electrostatic waves and nonlinear structures interpreted as electron phase-space holes. The "wave" region is physically separated from the ramp by the beam region. Numerical simulations reproduce a similar ramp structure, beam region, electrostatic turbulence region and plasma characteristics as seen in the observations. These results suggest that large double layers can account for the parallel electric field in the downward current region and that intense electrostatic turbulence rapidly stabilizes the accelerated electron distributions. These results also demonstrate that parallel electric fields are directly associated with the generation of large-amplitude electron phase-space holes and plasma waves.
