CeBix, LaB6 and Tungsten Filaments
Overview & Advantages:
For years, LaB6 has been the industry standard thermionic emission cathode material. CeBix™ (cerium hexaboride), that can be used as a direct replacement for LaB6. CeBix™ has several advantages over LaB6 cathodes, including:
- Longer Lifetime
- Faster Start-up
- Lower Work Function
- Higher Brightness
- Lower Evaporation Rate
- Capability to Recover from Contaminates
- Reduced Effects of O2
- Faster Stabilization after Air Exposure
- Lower Temperature Operation at the Optimum Filament Setting
CeBix™ cathodes are a simple, direct replacement for LaB6 cathodes in nearly every instrument currently using LaB6.
