X-RAY GENERATING SYSTEM USING CARBON NANO-TUBE (CNT) YARN

摘要

The present invention relates to an X-ray generating system using a carbon nano-tube (CNT) yarn as a cathode. According to the present invention, a cathode section has the carbon nano-tube yarn as a cathode and emits electrons from the carbon nano-tube yarn. Additionally, an anode section is disposed above the carbon nano-tube yarn and collides with the electrons emitted from the carbon nano-tube yarn, thereby generating X-rays. In this situation, the carbon nano-tube yarn may be mounted horizontally or vertically with respect to the anode section, wherein the electrons generate linear X-rays in the former case and point, X-rays in the latter case. The anode section may be mounted above the carbon nano-tube yarn as mentioned above, and may be mounted in the tube shape surrounding the carbon nano-tube yarn. An X-ray generating system with the tubular anode section may be manufactured in super miniature or portable type.
