摘要 |
A scandate dispenser cathode having a cathode body (4) arranged on a cathode support (3), a cathode coating (5, 6) comprising a layer system (6) consisting of one or more alternating layers of rhenium or a rhenium alloy (61) and of scandium oxide or a scandium alloy (62), and an activation acceleration layer system (5) arranged between the cathode body (4) and the layer system (6), said activation acceleration layer system comprising at least one release layer (52) comprising alkaline earth metal oxide, preferably barium oxide, and an activator layer system (51) comprising a barrier material with greater oxidation resistance than the material of the cathode body and an activator material for reducing the alkaline earth metal oxide, preferably barium oxide.
