Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the operation of a cathode at a low temperature and to improve the restoration of the cathode characteristics degraded by the ion bombardment by impregnating electron emitting materials in a porous sintered body produced with tungsten powder doped with scandium oxide. CONSTITUTION:Tungsten oxide added with aqueous solution of Sc(NO3)3 is reduced in a hydrogen furnace to produce metalic tungsten powder containing Sc2O3. A porous sintered body is produced with the said metalic tungsten powder and in which electron emitting materials are impregnated. Thereby an impregnated cathode having sufficient electron emission even at a relatively low temperature and emission characteristics easily restored even under the ion bombardment can be obtained.

As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 91822, the electron emitting surface is formed of a mixed layer of tungsten and scandium oxide, and when compared with the conventional impregnated cathode containing scandium oxide, some improvement in characteristics can be seen. However, a fundamental solution has not yet been reached, and the situation is far from being widely put into practical use.

When the above measures are taken, since scandium oxide is finely distributed within the tungsten particles, even if the scandium oxide near the electron emitting surface is sputtered by ion bombardment and temporarily disappears. It is thought that the electron emitting properties at relatively low temperatures are quickly recovered after ion bombardment, because they are immediately replenished to the electron emitting surface and contribute to lowering the work function.
