  • Method of producing an electron beam emission cathode
    Patent number: 5061357
    Abstract: A coating of lanthanum hexaboride LaB.sub.6 is sputtered on a substrate, preferably an electrically conductive substrate such as tungsten, in an insert gas atmosphere and at a pressure in the range of 2 to 50.times.10.sup.-3 torr. The coated substrate is subsequently heated to a temperature in the range of 750.degree. C. to 1000.degree. C. in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to provide an adherent, dense, smooth LaB.sub.6 coating on the substrate, suitable for use as an electron beam emission cathode.
