The focus was on the influence of the grid geometry as well as the positioning of the grid relative to the emitters on the electron transmission. The highest transmission can be achieved with the emitter tips protruding 10 µm trough the extraction grid openings. The transmission decreases more rapidly with increasing distance between the tip and the grid the thicker the grid is.}, language = {en} } @article{HausladenBuchnerBartletal., author = {Hausladen, Matthias and Buchner, Philipp and Bartl, Mathias and Bachmann, Michael and Schreiner, Rupert}, title = {Integrated multichip field emission electron source fabricated by laser-micromachining and MEMS technology}, series = {Journal of Vacuum Science \& Technology B}, volume = {42}, journal = {Journal of Vacuum Science \& Technology B}, number = {1}, publisher = {AIP Publishing}, doi = {10.1116/6.0003233}, abstract = {In this work, high-current field emission electron source chips were fabricated using laser-micromachining and MEMS technology. The resulting chips were combined with commercially available printed circuit boards (PCBs) to obtain a multichip electron source. By controlling the separate electron sources using an external current control circuit, we were able to divide the desired total current evenly across the individual chips deployed in the PCB-carrier. In consequence, we were able to show a decreased degradation due to the reduced current load per chip. First, a single electron source chip was measured without current regulation. A steady-state emission current of 1 mA with a high stability of ±1.3\% at an extraction voltage of 250 V was observed. At this current level, a mean degradation slope of -0.7 μA/min with a nearly perfect transmission ratio of 99\% ± 0.4\% was determined. The measurements of a fully assembled multichip PCB-carrier electron source, using a current control circuit for regulation, showed that an even distribution of the desired total current led to a decreased degradation. This was determined by the increase in the required extraction voltage over time. For this purpose, two current levels were applied to the electron source chips of the PCB-carrier using an external current control circuit. First, 300 μA total current was evenly distributed among the individual electron source chips followed by the emission of 300 μA per electron source chip. This allows the observation of the influence of a distributed and nondistributed total current, carried by the electron source chips. Thereby, we obtained an increase in the mean degradation slope from +0.011 V/min (300 μA distributed) to +0.239 V/min (300 μA per chip), which is approximately 21 times higher. Moreover, our current control circuit improved the current stability to under 0.1\% for both current levels, 300 μA distributed and 300 μA per chip.}, language = {en} } @article{RemškarJelencCzepurnyietal., author = {Remškar, Maja and Jelenc, Janez and Czepurnyi, Nikolai and Malok, Matjaž and Pirker, Luka and Schreiner, Rupert and H{\"u}ttel, Andreas K.}, title = {Modulations of the work function and morphology of a single MoS2 nanotube by charge injection}, series = {Nanoscale Advances}, journal = {Nanoscale Advances}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)}, issn = {2516-0230}, doi = {10.1039/d4na00490f}, abstract = {Both the miniaturization of transistor components and the ongoing investigation of material systems with potential for quantum information processing have significantly increased current interest of researchers in semiconducting inorganic nanotubes.

An elliptic deformation of the nanotube and helical twisting of the nanotube are visible, consistent with the reverse piezoelectric effect. Work-function changes are found to be dependent on the polarity of the injected carriers. An unexpected long-term persistence of the shape deformations is observed and explained with accumulation of structural defects and the resultant strain, which could cause a memory-like charge confinement and a long lasting modulation of the work function.}, language = {en} } @article{LindnerPipaKarpenetal., author = {Lindner, Matthias and Pipa, Andrei V. and Karpen, Norbert and Hink, R{\"u}diger and Berndt, Dominik and Foest, R{\"u}diger and Bonaccurso, Elmar and Weichwald, Robert and Friedberger, Alois and Caspari, Ralf and Brandenburg, Ronny and Schreiner, Rupert}, title = {Icing Mitigation by MEMS-Fabricated Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge}, series = {Applied Sciences}, volume = {11}, journal = {Applied Sciences}, number = {23}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/app112311106}, pages = {1 -- 17}, abstract = {Avoiding ice accumulation on aerodynamic components is of enormous importance to flight safety. Novel approaches utilizing surface dielectric barrier discharges (SDBDs) are expected to be more efficient and effective than conventional solutions for preventing ice accretion on aerodynamic components. In this work, the realization of SDBDs based on thin-film substrates by means of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) technology is presented. The anti-icing performance of the MEMS SDBDs is presented and compared to SDBDs manufactured by printed circuit board (PCB) technology. It was observed that the 35 mu m thick electrodes of the PCB SDBDs favor surface icing with an initial accumulation of supercooled water droplets at the electrode impact edges. This effect was not observed for 0.3 mu m thick MEMS-fabricated electrodes indicating a clear advantage for MEMS-technology SDBDs for anti-icing applications. Titanium was identified as the most suitable material for MEMS electrodes. In addition, an optimization of the MEMS-SDBDs with respect to the dielectric materials as well as SDBD design is discussed.}, language = {en} } @misc{ScharfenbergMottokArtmannetal., author = {Scharfenberg, Georg and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Artmann, Christina and Hobelsberger, Martin and Paric, Ivan and Großmann, Benjamin and Pohlt, Clemens and Wackerbarth, Alena and Pausch, Uli and Heidrich, Christiane and Fadanelli, Martin and Elsner, Michael and P{\"o}cher, Daniel and Pittroff, Lenz and Beer, Stefan and Br{\"u}ckl, Oliver and Haslbeck, Matthias and Sterner, Michael and Thema, Martin and Muggenthaler, Nicole and Lenck, Thorsten and G{\"o}tz, Philipp and Eckert, Fabian and Deubzer, Michael and Stingl, Armin and Simsek, Erol and Kr{\"a}mer, Stefan and Großmann, Benjamin and Schlegl, Thomas and Niedersteiner, Sascha and Berlehner, Thomas and Joblin, Mitchell and Mauerer, Wolfgang and Apel, Sven and Siegmund, Janet and Riehle, Dirk and Weber, Joachim and Palm, Christoph and Zobel, Martin and Al-Falouji, Ghassan and Prestel, Dietmar and Scharfenberg, Georg and Mandl, Roland and Deinzer, Arnulf and Halang, W. and Margraf-Stiksrud, Jutta and Sick, Bernhard and Deinzer, Renate and Scherzinger, Stefanie and Klettke, Meike and St{\"o}rl, Uta and Wiech, Katharina and Kubata, Christoph and Sindersberger, Dirk and Monkman, Gareth J. and Dollinger, Markus and Dembianny, Sven and K{\"o}lbl, Andreas and Welker, Franz and Meier, Matthias and Thumann, Philipp and Swidergal, Krzysztof and Wagner, Marcus and Haug, Sonja and Vernim, Matthias and Seidenst{\"u}cker, Barbara and Weber, Karsten and Arsan, Christian and Schone, Reinhold and M{\"u}nder, Johannes and Schroll-Decker, Irmgard and Dillinger, Andrea Elisabeth and Fuchshofer, Rudolf and Monkman, Gareth J. and Shamonin (Chamonine), Mikhail and Geith, Markus A. and Koch, Fabian and {\"U}hlin, Christian and Schratzenstaller, Thomas and Saßmannshausen, Sean Patrick and Auchter, Eberhard and Kriz, Willy and Springer, Othmar and Thumann, Maria and Kusterle, Wolfgang and Obermeier, Andreas and Udalzow, Anton and Schmailzl, Anton and Hierl, Stefan and Langer, Christoph and Schreiner, Rupert}, title = {Forschungsbericht 2015}, editor = {Baier, Wolfgang}, address = {Regensburg}, organization = {Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, isbn = {978-3-00-048589-3}, doi = {10.35096/othr/pub-1386}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-13867}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{KrysztofUrbańskiGrzebyketal., author = {Krysztof, Michał and Urbański, Paweł and Grzebyk, Tomasz and Hausladen, Matthias and Schreiner, Rupert}, title = {MEMS X-Ray Source: Electron Emitter Development}, series = {2022 21st International Conference on Micro and Nanotechnology for Power Generation and Energy Conversion Applications (PowerMEMS): 12-15 Dec. 2022, Salt Lake City, UT, USA}, booktitle = {2022 21st International Conference on Micro and Nanotechnology for Power Generation and Energy Conversion Applications (PowerMEMS): 12-15 Dec. 2022, Salt Lake City, UT, USA}, publisher = {IEEE}, doi = {10.1109/PowerMEMS56853.2022.10007563}, pages = {248 -- 251}, abstract = {The article presents a fabrication process and characterization of silicon emitters designed for MEMS X-ray source.

The p-type emitter gave smaller electron beam currents (<50 nA) with stable emission in a saturation region.
