Abstract:
A cathode device including an emitter element for generating electrons. The emitter element can have an outer periphery and a distal tip. The tip can have a first angled surface that angles inwardly from the outer periphery, and a second angled surface that angles inwardly and is separated and inwardly offset from the first angled surface by a shoulder. A graphite cap which can be solid, extends around the emitter element and has an internal angled surface that engages the first angled surface of the tip of the emitter element, forming a gap of a controlled size separating the internal angled surface of the graphite cap from the second angled surface of the tip of the emitter element.
Abstract:
A lanthanum boride film is deposited on a substrate by means of a sputtering method while moving the substrate and a target of lanthanum boride relative to each other in a state where the substrate and the target are arranged in opposition to each other. When a mean free path of sputtering gas molecules at the time of deposition is λ (mm) and a distance between the substrate and the target is L (mm), a ratio of L/λ is set to a value equal to or larger than 20. A value which is obtained by dividing a discharge power value by an area of the target is set to be in a range of from 1 W/cm2 or more to 5 W/cm2 or less.

Abstract:
A cathode has a thermionic emitter composed of a material that emits electrons upon being heated, and an emission layer, composed of a material that has a lower electron work function than the material of the thermionic emitter, is applied on said thermionic emitter so as to at least partially cover the thermionic emitter. Such a cathode has a high electron emission with simultaneously improved focusing and a longer lifespan.
Abstract:
An improved thermionic cathode is provided. The cathode has a carbon-coated cone surface and reduced cone angle (e.g. typically 60 degrees or less) that delivers an electron beam with high angular intensity and brightness and exhibits increased longevity.

Abstract:
Electron emission materials consisting of carbides, borides, and oxides, and related mixtures and compounds, of Group IVB metals Hf, Zr, and Ti, Group IIA metals Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba, and Group IIIB metals Sc, Y, and lanthanides La through Lu are used in electrodes. The electron emission materials include ternary Group IVB-IIIB and IVB-IIA oxides. These electron emission materials are typically contained in a refractory metal matrix formed of tungsten, tantalum, rhenium, and their alloys, but may also be used by themselves. These materials and electrodes have high melting points, low vapor pressures, low work functions, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and high thermionic electron emission and field emission properties.

Abstract:
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.
