ABSTRACT:
A ballistic charge transport device including an edge electron emitter defining an elongated central opening therethrough with a receiving terminal (e.g. an anode) at one end of the opening and a getter at the other end. A suitable potential is applied between the emitter and the receiving terminal to attract emitted electrons to the receiving terminal and a different suitable potential is applied between the emitter and the getter so that contaminants, such as ions and other undesirable particles, are accelerated toward and absorbed by the getter.
