CE1858 Cerium Hexaboride Rod (CeB6 Rod)

Cerium Hexaboride Rod Description

Cerium Hexaboride Rod undergoes a precise fabrication process, predominantly sintering. In this method, powdered cerium hexaboride undergoes compression and heating, resulting in a dense, solid ceramic structure that retains the exceptional properties of cerium hexaboride. Crafted specifically for technological applications requiring top-tier electron emission performance, this ceramic disc excels in providing dependable and efficient electron beams. Celebrated for its high brightness, it markedly amplifies the intensity of the generated electron beam—an essential element for achieving unparalleled resolution in electron microscopy.

Cerium Hexaboride Rod FAQs

Q1: What is a Cerium Hexaboride Rod?

Answer: A Cerium Hexaboride (CeB₆) rod is a solid cylindrical piece made from cerium hexaboride, a material known for its excellent electron emission properties, high melting point, and chemical stability. These rods are used in various high-tech applications.

Q2: Why is Cerium Hexaboride preferred for electron emission applications?

Answer: CeB₆ is preferred due to its low work function, high electron emission efficiency, and stability at high temperatures, making it ideal for generating consistent electron beams in high-vacuum conditions.

Q3: How are Cerium Hexaboride Rods manufactured?

Answer: CeB₆ rods are typically manufactured using powder metallurgy techniques, which involve pressing CeB₆ powder into a rod shape and then sintering it at high temperatures to achieve the desired density and mechanical properties.
