  • Abstract
    New thermal field electron emission energy conversion method for vacuum electron-optical systems (EOS) with a nanostructured surface electron sources is offered and developed. Physical and numerical modeling of an electron emission and transport processes for different EOS is carried out. It is shown that at the specific configuration of electrostatic and magnetic fields in the EOS offered method permits to realize energy conversion processes with high efficiency.
