摘要:
A field emission cathode of the present invention is characterized by the possession of a special layer which is adsorbed onto the surfaces of a tip that is joined to the top of a hairpin-shaped filament.This layer is formed by adsorbing a selected metal via oxygen to a thickness which does not exceed the thickness of the monolayer of atoms.The metal will be selected from chromium, aluminum, cerium, magnesium, titanium, silicon, zirconium or hafnium.The field emission cathode features that the electrons are emitted in a concentrated manner from a particular crystal plane among the crystal planes of the tip.Therefore, it is possible to obtain a field emission cathode having very small emission angle of electrons.

A cathode for an electron source according to this invention comprises an emitter tip made of an electron emissive material, a filament for holding the emitter tip, and a binder for binding the emitter tip and the filament, the filament and the binder being made of glassy carbon. The binder can have a carbide or boride powder incorporated therein. The cathode according to this invention can be produced by using a thermosetting resin of predetermined shape as the starting material of the filament, fixing the emitter tip to a predetermined position of the thermosetting resin with the adhesive agent made of the raw thermosetting resin, and heating the resultant assembly in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to carbonize the resinous portions. This cathode is structurally very simple. Moreover, the adhesion between the filament and the emitter tip is excellent, and the emitter tip can be heated to high temperatures above 2,000.degree. C. by causing current to flow through the cathode.

The present invention relates to an impregnated cathode produced by attaching at least two layered thin films, the thin films comprising an under layer consisting of a high melting point metal thin film composed of, for example, Os, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt, Re, Mo, W, Ta, etc., and an over layer consisting of a high melting point metal layer which contains Sc.sub.2 O.sub.3 and which is placed over the layer, on the surface of the impregnated cathode pellet generated by impregnating a refractory porous base body with electron emissive materials. The invention relates also to an electron tube having this cathode. This cathode maintains a low work functional mono-layer stably for a long period of time on its surface.

摘要:
An electron tube cathode has a composite suppression layer structure interposed between the base metal and the electron-emitting material to suppress an interface layer formed through the reaction of the base metal with the electron emissive material. The composite layer structure includes a thin layer of Pt or Re and a layer of oxide of Zr and/or Hf. As a result, the formation of the interface layer is prevented so that the useful life of the electron tube cathode is prolonged.

摘要:
An electron emissive material of the formula (Y.sub.1.sub.-x EU.sub.x)B.sub.6 having the calcium hexaboride type crystal structure can easily produce hexaborides of the single phase. These borides have a number of merits such as small work function, high mechanical properties and low vapor pressure, and they are far more excellent than prior-art materials when used in a thermionic emission cathode and a field emission type cold cathode.
