Behaviour of backsputtered contaminations on liquid metal indium ion emitters

Description

The surface of an operating liquid metal ion source (LMIS) is contaminated by material, backsputtered from beam forming electrodes. For an indium - LMIS, operating against steel electrodes, a solid crust is forming at the originally liquid metal surface. Since the LMIS nevertheless continues to operate, topmost 20-50 μm of the emitter surface however must however remain liquid. (authors)
