Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposed programme is to investigate the potential for the development of alternative composite (cermet) materials to enhance/replace the current oxide emitter of the conventional thermionic cathode as used in the electron gun of a VDU. The aim is to increase the emission current possible from such cathodes whilst preventing degradation of the emitting material due to resistant heating effects. Such developments are essential in order to allow the performance of these cathodes to be enhanced to satisfy the emerging demands of applications such as high resolution and high brightness-contrast VDUs.The research will entail the development of a detailed understanding of emission and carrier transport mechanisms, interfacial phenomena and microstructure-property relationships in these novel materials, together with the development of novel techniques to enable appropriate microstructures to be both engineered and characterised.
