LaB6 Elements Hollow Cathode Emitter for Thermionic Emission
LaB6 Elements Hollow Cathode Emitter for Thermionic Emission
Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) is an inorganic compound with remarkable properties. It is a refractory ceramic material, characterized by a dark purple appearance, a high melting point of 2210°C, and excellent stability in both vacuum and harsh chemical environments—it is insoluble in water and hydrochloric acid. Known for its low work function, LaB6 exhibits one of the highest electron emissivities, making it a highly efficient electron source.
