| Abstract | Summary form only given. Recent experiments at the University of Michigan have explored the mechanism of electron emission from triple points (vacuum-conductor-dielectric interface) for application to high current cathodes. Metal-oxide junction (MOJ) cathodes have been developed and tested; these consist of hafnium oxide $(HfO_{2})$ or magnesium oxide (MgO) coatings over metal (#304 stainless steel) substrates. To fabricate MOJ cathodes, high dielectric constant $HfO_{2}$ coatings (or high secondary electron emission coefficient MgO coatings) are deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using a KrF laser at 248 nm and 50 $J/cm^{2}$ fluence. Cathodes were tested on the Michigan Electron Long-Beam Accelerator (MELBA), with a relativistic magnetron, at parameters V=-300 kV, currents 1-15 kA, and pulse-lengths of 0.3-0.5 microseconds. Six variations of the MOJ cathode were tested, and were compared against five baseline cases. It was found that particulate formed during the ablation process improves the electron emission properties of the cathodes by forming additional triple points. Due to extensive electron back- bombardment during magnetron operation, secondary electron emission also appears to play a significant role. MOJ cathodes exhibit increases in current densities of up to 80 $A/cm^{2},$ and up to 15% improvement in current start up time, as compared to polished stainless steel cathodes. An analytic theory is developed to assess electron multiplication in the immediate vicinity of a triple point, and predict the dielectric angles most susceptible to breakdown. These predictions are shown to agree with previous experiments. Latest experiments are exploring stacked- washer, triple-point cathodes consisting of insulating (BN) washers alternating with oxygen-free copper (OFC) washers. The stacked-washer, triple-point cathode utilizes the theory to predict dielectric angles favorable for electron emission. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
