12:48 Try to optimise gun. Want sharpest possible increase in I vs E. Also try to get maximum I. Angle of sample 135deg. Sample Au on Si (95min, 3.5A, 3-6e-8mbar) Getting maximum Is 1. Adjust deflection voltage for maximum I at the start of the exponential increase (DAC = 500) - Vd = 3.05V, Is = 0.130e-8 A 2. Adjust accelerating voltage for maximum I - Va = 38.5V, Is = 0.100e-8 A - Note: Is decreased when Va was changed. Va was originally 38.4V. There seems to be a slow increase in current. (at 0.105e-8 A after 30s) 3. Adjust focus voltage for maximum I - Vf = 0.00V, Is = 0.120e-8 A (still changing). 4. Adjust venault voltage for maximum I - Vv = 15.3V, Is = 0.075e-8 A (changing venault caused significant decrease in Is. Even when venault restored to original value 12.2 V, Is still reduced). Getting sharpest possible increase in Is with E - Adjust Vf, take sweeps, keep all parameters fixed. Results in folder "focus". Subdirectories indicate the value for Vf. - Va = 38.5V, Vd = 3.05, Vv = 15.3 Notes: - Vv should not significantly effect focusing of gun. Greatest effect is on emission current. So do not adjust Vv to optimise focus of gun. - Ratio of Va/Vf is important for Einzel lens. So only change Vf, not Va. 15:35 Sergey not impressed. Do loop adjustment instead.
