Abstract
In this paper La–Sc–Mo cathode has been prepared and its electron emission ability was measured. This type of cathode shows good electron emission performance that the saturated current density is 6.74Acm−1 and the work function is about 2.59eV at 1300°C, which is much lower than thoriated tungsten cathode (Th-W). So it is a potential cathode to replace the Th-W cathode with radioactive pollution. Surface analysis shows that good emission ability due to the 20nm surplus La layer and the element Sc may do good to the La diffusion to the surface.
