Abstract
A charged particle source for emitting a positive ion or electron by applying a positive or negative potential to a tip electrode covered with a liquid substance is disclosed in which mechanical vibration is applied to the tip electrode so that a favorable standing wave is formed in the liquid substance, to vary the shape of a charged-particle emitting portion of the liquid substance periodically, thereby changing the intensity of an emitted, charged-particle beam periodically, and thus a pulsed beam having a repetition rate up to the GHz band can be obtained without increasing the energy dispersion of the beam.
