| Abstract: | As a promising kind of high current cold cathode,the Ferroelectric Cathode(FEC)has several significant advantages,such as a controllable trigger time,lower vacuum requirement and large emitting area fabricability.The emitting current density of the FEC fabricated at Tsinghua University was more than200 A/cm2.In order to make the ferroelectric cathode into practical applications,a high current density diode using a ferroelectric cathode was designed,based on the PIC simulation.The performance of the FEC diode was investigated experimentally.When the applied diode voltage was 60 kV,a current density of more than250 A/cm2 was obtained,and the current density distribution was also measured. |
