MICROSTRUCTURE AND WORK FUNCTION OF DISPENSER CATHODE COATINGS: EFFECTS ON THERMIONIC EMISSION
Dispenser cathodes emit electrons through thermionic emission and are a critical component of space-based and telecommunication devices. The emission of electrons is enhanced when coated with a refractory metal such as osmium (Os), osmium-ruthenium (Os-Ru), or iridium (Ir). In this work the microstr...
