Multicomponent hexaborides with low work functions by ultra-fast high temperature sintering
A reduction of the work function (Wf) in multicomponent hexaborides has been achieved by doping with highly electropositive Ba, which enhances electron emission. Single-phase bulk multicomponent polycrystalline hexaborides of La0.5Ba0.5B6, Ce0.5Ba0.5B6, and BaB6 powders were first synthesized and th...
