Abstract:
An electron emissive composition comprises a barium tantalate composition in an amount of about 50 to about 95 wt% and a ferroelectric oxide composition in an amount of about 5 to about 50 wt%, wherein the weight percents are based on the total weight of the barium tantalate composition and the ferroelectric oxide composition. A method for manufacturing an electron emissive composition comprises blending a barium tantalate composition in an amount of about 50 to about 95 wt% with a ferroelectric oxide composition in an amount of about 5 to about 50 wt% to form an electron emissive precursor composition, wherein the weight percents are based on the total weight of the barium tantalate composition and the ferroelectric oxide composition and sintering the composition at a temperature of about 1000°C to about 1700°C.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an electron source that can produce a stable electron beam even if an apparatus employing the electron source receives vibration from the outside. An electron source comprising an insulator, a pair of conductive terminals attached to the insulator, a filament tensed between the pair of conductive terminals, a rod-shaped cathode having a sharp end portion performing as an electron emitting portion and joined with the filament, wherein the cathode has another end portion different from the electron emitting portion, fixed to the insulator. It is preferred that said another end portion of the cathode other than the electron emitting portion, is fixed to the insulator via a metal pin brazed with the insulator.
