Abstract:
One of the important issues with the scandate cathode is the mechanism by which Sc works on the cathode surface. A surface Sc-rich dispenser cathode was prepared via the vacuum evaporation method to clarify the role of Sc in the cathode performance. The XPS results indicate that the surface chemical state of Sc on the surface after activation is consists of Sc0 and ScƐ+ (0<Ɛ<3). Furthermore, the adsorption energy, the work function, charge density difference, polarization effect and dipole moment of the Bax-Oy adsorbed on the Sc surface were calculated by means of first-principles calculations. The results show that the work function of the Bax-Oy dipole adsorbed on the Sc is 1.9–2.8 eV with the average value of 2.262 eV, which is consistent with the experimentally measured result. The work function of Bax-Oy adsorbed Sc (002) gets to the lowest at a coverage of 25 %O-25 %Ba. The change of dipole moment due to polarization and charge transfer in the adsorbed layer could affect the work function. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
