The Department of Energy Office of Science awarded Radiabeam Systems, LLC $399,110 under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to develop a Cold Plasma Cathode for High Resolution Condensed Matter Electron Spectroscopy. The project aims to deliver a new type of electron source for microscopy and spectroscopy that offers improved resolution over traditional thermionic electron sources. Work will be conducted between June 2022 through March 2023 in Santa Monica, California, to design, construct and test a prototype cold field emission cathode using a novel plasma-based activation method. If successful, this technology could enable new insights into materials science and condensed matter physics through higher resolution electron spectroscopy techniques.
