Abstract:
Body (1) formed from a porous matrix impregnated with an electron-emitting material, defined by external faces (11, 12, 13) that all have a roughness of less than 0.2 µm. Because of this surface finish, the operation and the lifetime of the cathodes provided with such cathode emissive bodies are substantially improved.
Abstract:
A directly heated cathode structure includes a porous pellet (500) in which cathode material is impregnated, a first metal member (510) being fixed to the lower surface of the porous pellet (500), a second metal member (520) being welded with the first metal member (510), and a filament (600) being interposed between the first and second metal members. A method for manufacturing a directly heated cathode structure includes the steps of manufacturing a porous pellet (500) having a multiplicity of cavities, welding a first metal member (510) to the lower surface of the porous pellet by a brazing layer (700), impregnating electron radiating material (600) into the cavities of the pellet, and welding a second metal member (520) to the first metal member (510) so that a filament (600) is disposed between the first and second metal members. Life of the cathode structure is prolonged by this because thermions are not emitted through the lower surface of the pellet.
Abstract:
A direct heating type-cathode structure is provided with filaments (200) which are secured to at least three points on the side surfaces of a porous pellet (100) formed of tungsten or molybdenum, and the cathode material thereof includes an alkaline earth metal oxide of barium. The thus-structured direct-heating-type cathode structure requires a temperature of only 950°C to 980°C to obtain the current density of 10A/cm² and is suitable for use in a color cathode ray tube and specifically in wide-screen televisions and industrial cathode ray tubes.

Abstract:
A low work function surface for a dispenser cathode structure. The cathode structure comprising a heater and an electron emitting surface substrate or core composed of a porous tungsten matrix impregnated with a barium containing impregnant distributed therethrough. The structure is made by a method in which a nanometer thick layer of scandium oxide is sputtered onto the outermost surface of the impregnated tungsten core, or substrate, and then oxidized by exposing the sputtered scandium oxide surface layer to an oxygen atmosphere. The oxidized surface layer is activated by turning on the heater, for example, to cause the release of a small portion of the barium in the barium-containing impregnant. Some of the released barium migrates into the scandium oxide surface layer to form a monolayer of barium oxide on at least a portion thereof.
Abstract:
A dispenser cathode for an electron gun comprising a reservoir (2) for thermoelectron emissive material (1) and a sleeve (3) which has an outward flange at the top thereof and receives the reservoir within its upper portion. A heat shielding tube (5) has an inward flange at the top thereof which corresponds to and overlaps with the flange of the sleeve (3) and is welded thereto. A holder supports the heat shielding tube.
Abstract:
Cathode thermo-électronique comportant une matrice (4) en matériau poreux, imprègné d'un produit émissif (Aluminates de Barium et de Calcium). Le corps poreux (4) est recouvert d'une couche (5) en matériau réfractaire non-poreux, et à porosité ordonnée grâce à un ensemble de fines fentes (6) obtenues par gravure. Cette couche est avantageusement obtenue par décomposition chimique en phase gazeuse (C.V.D.) et elle a une épaisseur de l'ordre de une à plusieurs centaines de micromètres.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, an impregnated cathode is provided wherein an alloy layer (19) of iridium and tungsten is formed on a surface of a porous pellet (11) impregnated with an oxide of an alkali earth metal, wherein a crystal structure of the alloy has an ell phase comprising an hcp structure whose lattice constants a and c satisfy 2.76 s a ≤ 2.78 and 4.44 ≤ c ≤ 4.46, respectively. The impregnated cathode of the present invention maintains stable electron emission characteristics from an early stage of operation.
