Description
Kathode für Elektronenröhren Es ist bekannt, @daß thorierte Wolframkathoden eine niedrigere Austrittsarbeit als reine Wolframkathoden :besitzen. Die Ursache ist in der absorbierten einatomaren Thoriumschicht zu erblicken. Es ist ferner bekannt, daß thorierte Tantalkathoden keine Verringerung der Austrittsarbeit zeigen. Dieser Effekt ist damit zu erklären, daß das Tantal und das Thorium in derselben Gruppe des Periodischen Systems stehen, und daß daher das Dipolmoment, das die Verringerung der Austrittsarbeit hervorruft, sehr klein ist.Cathode for electron tubes It is known that thoriated tungsten cathodes a lower work function than pure tungsten cathodes: possess. The cause can be seen in the absorbed monatomic thorium layer. It is also known that thoriated tantalum cathodes show no reduction in the work function. This The effect can be explained by the fact that the tantalum and the thorium are in the same group of the periodic table, and that therefore the dipole moment, which is the reduction the work function causes is very small.
Es wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, als Trägermetall statt Wolfram Rhenium zu verwenden, das ebenfalls einen sehr hohen Schmelzpunkt besitzt. Das Dipolmoment zwischen Thorium und, Rhenium ist wesentlich größer als zwischen Thorium und Wolfram und daher die Austrittsarbeit kleiner. Dieser Effekt ist wiederum durch die Stellung von Thorium und Rhenium im Periodischen System .begründet.According to the invention, it is proposed that the carrier metal be used instead of tungsten To use rhenium, which also has a very high melting point. The dipole moment between thorium and, rhenium is much larger than between thorium and tungsten and therefore the work function is smaller. This effect is in turn due to the position of thorium and rhenium in the periodic table.
Das Rhenium hat den Nachteil, :daß es kein Karbild bildet, jedoch sind die Absorptionskräfte gegenüber Thorium so groß, daß bei der Arbeitstemperatur von thoriertenKathoden (etwa i8oo° K) keine merkliche Verdampfung des Thoriums von der Oberfläche stattfindet.The disadvantage of rhenium is that it does not form a carburetor image, however the absorption forces against thorium are so great that at working temperature from thoriated cathodes (about 180 ° K) no noticeable evaporation of the thorium from the surface takes place.
Die Herstellung ,der thorierten Rheniumkathode erfolgt ähnlich wie die der thorierten Wolframkathode, indem man dem metallischen Rheniumpulver bis zu ioo/o Thoroxyd zusetzt, das Gemisch bei hohem Druck zusammenpreßt und in einer Schutzgasatmosphäre sintert. Die gesinterten Blöcke werden dann gehämmert und auf die gewünschten Abmessungen gezogen.The manufacture of the thoriated rhenium cathode is carried out in a similar way to that of the thoriated tungsten cathode by adding the metallic rhenium powder up add 100% of thoroxide to the mixture compresses at high pressure and sinters in a protective gas atmosphere. The sintered blocks are then hammered and drawn to the desired dimensions.
