摘要
Activation and early life of a pressed barium scandate cathode have been investigated, correlating thermionic emission properties with elemental composition and distribution, as determined with scanning Auger microscopy. It is shown that such cathodes after activation have a current density J ≈ 10 A/cm2 at 950°C which is due to activated scandium oxide (Sc2O3) regions in the surface. © 1979.
