Surface analysis of thermionic dispenser cathodes

TL;DR: Surface analysis of thermionic Ba dispenser cathodes with W, Re, Ir and Os/Ru substrates was performed by means of low-energy ion scattering and Auger electron spectroscopy and found that the Ba–O complex responsible for the low work functions of the cathodes has similar properties on the different substrates.
