New Approaches to Development of High-Performance X-Ray Sources Based on Nanomaterials

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

The research and patent literature as well as experimental results obtained in our laboratory are discussed. Monocrystal and nanotechnological materials provide progress in X-ray radiation sources. Effective medical X-ray radiation sources use autoemission cathodes and thermoemission cathodes made of carbon nanotubes and tungsten nanocomposites. Nanocomposite cathodes and anodes increase the service life of X-ray radiation sources.
