More Information
Summary:Summary form only given. Creek Research, Inc. (CCR) is continuing development of optimization routines for design of both simple and complex electron beam devices. The principle computational tool is Beam Optics Analyzer (BOA), a 3-D finite element charged particle analysis program with electrostatic and magnetostatic solvers. CCR is teamed with scientists and students at North Carolina State University to integrate advanced optimization routines into BOA. Previous reserach developed routines for optimizing cathode anode spacing to achieve a specified beam current, magnetic field registration to achieve a specified beam size, electrode geometry to minimize field gradients, and cathode shape to reduce beam ripple.
