Abstract:
It has been experimentally established for the first time using electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis that traces of $d$ elements (W, Re, Ni, Pd, and Os) in BaO crystallites contained in cathodes of microwave devices lead to the formation of the donor surface states on the crystallite surface, which can partially compensate the acceptor surface states caused by surface oxygen vacancies, which reduces the potential barrier on the crystallite surface and, consequently, the cathode work function.
Keywords:
cathodes of microwave devices, barium oxide crystallites, $d$-element traces, donor and acceptor surface states.
