Overview of Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6)
Lanthanum Hexaboride, also known as LaB6, is an inorganic non-metallic compound composed of boron with variable valence and the metal element lanthanum. It is a refractory ceramic capable of withstanding high temperatures and harsh environments, making it widely used due to its ideal thermal, chemical, and electronic properties.
Key Characteristics- Excellent thermal shock resistance
- Good electrical conductivity
- Superior chemical and oxidation resistance
Applications- Scanning Electron Microscopes
- Transmission Electron Microscopes
- Electron Microprobe Analyzers
- Electron Lithography Systems
- Electron Accelerators
- Thermionic Cathodes
- Electron Emission Cathodes
Technical Data- High emission current density and low evaporation rate at high temperatures make LaB6 an excellent cathode material, gradually replacing tungsten cathodes in industrial applications.
