Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) resistivity measurement

In the development of high-power free-electron lasers, intense electron beams are required. Large area, directly heated lanthanum hexaboride cathodes have been proposed as the electron emitter. To aid in the design of the cathode, the resistivity of lanthanum hexaboride as a function of material den...

Zusammenfassung:In the development of high-power free-electron lasers, intense electron beams are required. Large area, directly heated lanthanum hexaboride cathodes have been proposed as the electron emitter. To aid in the design of the cathode, the resistivity of lanthanum hexaboride as a function of material density and temperature has been measured.
