Pierce-Type Electron Gun with a Large Concave LaB6 Cathode

Abstract
A Pierce-type electron gun with a concave cathode of lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) 30 mm in diameter is described. At an accelerating voltage of 3 kV and a cathode temperature of 1340°C, a focussed electron beam of DC 300 mA was obtained.
