PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cathode having high current density of an electron beam by forming an electron emitting substance layer mainly composed of alkaline earth metal oxide or the base metal mainly composed of nickel, and laying/ forming/heating rare earth metal or a rare earth metal compound on the surface of the electron emitting substance layer. SOLUTION: An electron emitting substance layer 12 is laid/formed on the upper surface of the base metal 11 by supporting the base metal 11 by a cathode support stand. An electron beam control grid 14 forming an electron beam passing hole is formed in front of the electron emitting substance layer 12 so that a heater 13 to heat a base board is arranged on the inside surface of the base metal 11. Here, the base metal 11 contains a small quantity of magnesium and silicon by being mainly composed of nickel, and the electron emitting substance layer 12 is desirably composed of oxide of alkaline earth metal such as Ba, Sr and Ca. A rare earth metal compound 15 is laid/formed on the surface of the electron emitting substance layer 12. Therefore, an electron having high electric current density is emitted from a cathode for an electron tube.

PURPOSE: To enhance the initial radiation and lengthen the life by containing the specified ratio of the number of rare earth atoms to the number of alkali earth atoms in an electron radiation material, and uniformly distributing the rare earth atoms on the upper side of the radiation material layer. CONSTITUTION: A cathode 1 consists of a cap 7 essentially containing nickel and a cylindrical nichrome cathode shaft 3, and is covered with an electron radiation material layer 2 having an alkali earth metal oxide, barium, and a rare earth metal. The rate of the number of alkali earth metal atoms to the number of rare earth metal atoms in the radiation material is 10-500ppm, and the rare earth metal atoms are uniformly distributed on the upper side of a radiation material layer 2. By adding a small amount of rare earth metal to the layer 2 of the cathode having barium oxide and strontium oxide, the initial radiation is enhanced, and the life is lengthened.

CONSTITUTION: An alloy thin film layer composed of scandium tungstate and W is formed between an electron emitting substance and a porous metallic base body. A storage tank 3b and a sleeve 4b are formed of high melting point metal such as Mo and Ta, and the electron emitting substance 2b is a compression molding formed of barium calcium alminate, and the alloy thin film layer 6d is an alloy coating layer formed of scandium tungstate (Sc2 W3 O12 or Sc6 WO12 ) and W. Therefore, a stable and persistent thermoelectron can be emitted even at a low temperature through sufficient supply of scandium.
Abstract:
Oxides of lanthanide metals are used to create stable surfaces for use in laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry. The disclosed lanthanide metal oxide surfaces are used to identify and characterize fatty acids from microorganism allowing profiling of the microorganism to the strain level, including antibiotic resistance. Cerium oxide, CeO2, was used to create a stable surface for obtaining fatty acid profiles of bacterial pathogens. Cross validation of results obtained using the disclosed methods, systems, and surfaces, demonstrated greater than 95% accuracy that did not suffer long-term degradation. Bacteria were identified by the disclosed methods, systems, and surfaces with greater than 98% at the species level and 96% at the strain level. Comparisons with existing technologies demonstrate that the presently disclosed methods, systems, and surfaces provide for surprisingly enhanced accuracy and reliability in profiling and identification.
