摘要
Current-voltage characteristics of a gas field ion source (GFIS) have been measured for hydrogen and all rare gases. The parameter set included tip temperature, tip radius and gas temperature and pressure. This investigation has been made to get a complete overview of the field ion currents (FIC) and to estimate the maximum currents in a GFIS, which have been found to a few 100 nA. This estimate allows also a feasibility study of a FGIS, modified by a supertip, a small protuberance on the emitter surface.
