Abstract

The work function (Φ) and operating stability of dispenser, scandate, and alloy cathodes are investigated with ab initio quantum mechanical modeling. Low Φ, thermodynamically stable, and steady state surface configurations are identified, while the ability of alloy surfaces to improve emission is presented.
