G. Kuznetsov, HIGH-TEMPERATURE CATHODES FOR HIGH-CURRENT DENSITY, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 340(1), 1994, pp. 204-208
The features of the high temperature cathodes used at INP installation
s made of the following materials are presented: 1) LaB6, 2) eutectic
LaB6-based alloys with ZrB2, HfB2 and TiB2, 3) IrCe and IrLa alloys. T
heir lifetimes, vacuum operating conditions and poisoning are consider
