LaB6 (Lanthanum Hexaboride) Single Crystal
LaB6 single crystals, known for their excellent electron emission properties and heat resistance, are used as electron sources in electron microscopes and other applications.
Features
- LaB6 single crystals are materials with excellent electron emission properties and high heat resistance.
- Compared to tungsten filaments, they offer 10 times the brightness and a lifespan said to be 10–15 times longer. Additionally, they are characterized by their low work function.
- LaB6 single crystals are primarily used as electron sources in electron microscopes and electron beam lithography. Recently, research has also been conducted in space-related fields
Applications
- Faraday Rotator
- Optical Isolator
