Computational Design of a Magnetic Mirror

Abstract

Abstract A computer-aided design (CAD) has been carried out to investigate the properties of the magnetic electron mirror design. The work has been focused on suggesting a mathematical formula to represent the radial displacement. The function that has been taken into consideration was suggested to give rise to the mirror action. A numerical solution is carried out for solving the Paraxial-ray equation for determining the optical properties such as the focal length, the spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients and the excitation of the mirror. The pole shape of the mirror has been determined in two dimensions. In the present work, the profile of the mirror determined from the suggested trajectory is the single-pole types. The coefficients of the chromatic and spherical aberrations of the magnetic mirror are determined and normalized in terms of the focal length. The operational requirements are determining the choice of the mirror.
