  • Abstract
    This paper will present a novel nanocomposite scandia-tungsten coated dispenser cathode, which has the capability to provide more than 150 A/cm2 knee point current density at 1000degCb. The authors pointed out that the generation and maintenance of emissive islets on the cathode surface is the main factor to decide the Sc-type cathodes emission mechanism is incline to dominating thermionic emission or field enhancement thermionic emission.
