Carbon Nanotube X-Ray Tube (CNT X-Ray Tube)
The repetitive heating and cooling of the filament for X-ray exposures is not necessary with a Carbon Nano-tube (CNT) field emitter, which is driven by an applied electric field, not by temperature, and is thus known as a ‘cold cathode.’ In a CNT, the current is exactly and instantaneously controlled by an applied voltage.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
The repetitive heating and cooling of the filament for X-ray exposures is not necessary with a Carbon Nano-tube (CNT) field emitter, which is driven by an applied electric field, not by temperature, and is thus known as a ‘cold cathode.’ In a CNT, the current is exactly and instantaneously controlled by an applied voltage.
The configuration of a CNT field emitter differs significantly from a thermionic filament. The CNT emitter used in an Xray tube consists of a large number of tall, thin, carbon nano-tubes arranged vertically on a conductive substrate. The carbon nano-tubes are only nanometers in width, which means that the tips are very sharp and this small, ‘sharp’, radius of curvature is important for concentrating the electric field so that emission of electrons will occur. The CNTs are arranged in the manner similar to a ‘bed of nails’.
