Based on 3ktz Os compounds, Cab, SrQ,
The material to which oxides such as MgO, Zrαl, and Y2O3 are added is used. A composite thin film layer is deposited on the cathode surface. It can be formed by sputter deposition, CVD (chemical vapor deposition), or the like. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an impregnated cathode of the present invention. 1 is W, 2 is se, o, 3 is electron emitting material,
4 is a composite thin film layer, 5 is an RS wall layer, 6 is a sleeve, and 7 is a heater. In order to lower the operating temperature of the impregnated cathode, 8C203 was first deposited thinly on the surface of the cathode consisting of a W base by sputter deposition, and the electron emission characteristics were measured. As a result, it was found that the electron emission ability was improved. Next, W and 5CzOs are coated.

As a result of measuring the electron emission characteristics, the m-ion emission ability was greatly improved. We were able to reduce the operating temperature by approximately 200C. However, although the electron emission ability was greatly improved, variations in electron emission characteristics occurred between the holes and poles due to the #21# underlying anode. To remove the influence of the underlying cathode. A cathode containing 5CtOs in the substrate was used. When the surface of this cathode was coated with W, 5c2ns, the electron emission ability was improved and the variation in the cage emission characteristics was reduced. After conducting more detailed experiments, the results were as follows: OS-Rule 11
The composition of the composite thin film layer that showed higher electron emission ability than the impregnated layer coated with alloy etc. was 0.5~8CzOs.
20% by weight, and the film thickness was in the range of 50 to 11,000 nm. Further, a remarkable effect was observed when the 5czOs content in the underlying cathode was used with a 5-porous substrate having a weight of 0.5 to 20 inches.
