Abstract:
This invention relates to a liquid metal ion source which melts a source material and extracts ions. Stable extraction of ions of at least one element selected from among As, P and B for a long period of time can be attained by using as a source material an alloy having a composition represented by the formula L.sub.X R.sub.Y M.sub.A wherein X, Y and A each stands for atomic percentage; L at least one element selected from among Pt, Pd and Ag; R at least one element selected from among As, P and B; M at least one element selected from among Ge, Si and Sb; 5
Abstract:
Arc electrodes formed of the sinter of lanthanum chromite or of a compound having a part of the lanthanum component of lanthanum chromite replaced by at least one member selected from the group consisting of calcium, magnesium and strontium.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a rotating X-ray target made up of three metallic components, i.e., a molybdenum body, a focal track of an alloy of tungsten with one or more metal additives and a component present in the surface not exposed to electrons comprising tungsten alone or a tungsten alloy having a lesser amount of the additive metals.
Abstract:
A process is described for imparting resistance to rotary anodes for X-ray tubes by spraying a graphite base with tungsten or a tungsten alloy, followed by depositing an outer coating of tungsten or an alloy thereof from the gaseous phase.
Abstract:
In high voltage electron tubes, such as type RCA 6BK4, comprising a cathode, and an open-ended tubular anode including an electron receiving target within the anode tubulation, the target is made from a refractory metal such as molybdenum or tantalum, coated with chromium.
Abstract:
An ionic liquid ion source can include a microfabricated body including a base and a tip. The body can be formed of a porous material compatible with at least one of an ionic liquid or room-temperature molten salt. The body can have a pore size gradient that decreases from the base of the body to the tip of the body, such that the at least one of an ionic liquid or room-temperature molten salt is capable of being transported through capillarity from the base to the tip.
