Abstract:
An electron emissive composition comprises a barium tantalate composition of the formula (Ba 1-x , Ca x , Sr p , D q ) 6 (Ta 1-y , W y , E t , F u , G v , Ca w ) 2 O (11 ± δ) where δ is an amount of about 0 to about -3; and wherein D is either an alkali earth metal ion or an alkaline earth ion; E, F, and G, are alkaline earth ions and/or transition metal ion; x is an amount of up to about 0.7; y is an amount of up to about 1; p and q are amounts of up to about 0.3; and t is an amount of about 0.05 to about 0.10, u is an amount of up to about 0.5, v is an amount of up to about 0.5 and w is an amount of up to about 0.25. A method for manufacturing an electron emissive composition comprises blending a barium tantalate composition with a binder; and sintering the barium tantalate composition with the binder at a temperature of about 1000°C to about 1700°C.
