The addition of scandium oxide to dispenser cathodes, which are typically comprised of a porous tungsten matrix impregnated with Ba-Ca-aluminates, improves the emission by a factor of tens to hundreds under the same operating temperature. This new book reviews the fabrication, emission property and emission mechanism of Scandate cathodes. The traditional impregnated Scandate cathode, “top-layer” impregnated Scandate cathode, impregnated mixed matrix Scandate cathode and pressed Scandate cathode were each summarized. It was found that decreasing the grain size from micrometer to sub-micrometer could enhance the cathode emission performance. (Imprint: Nova)
