DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH PERFORMANCE POROUS TUNGSTEN IONIZERS

Abstract

A current state-of-the-art survey is included to establish the status of porous ionizer material technology. Experimental results relating to particle size distribution and to the pore parameters of the resulting compacts are presented. Parameters such as sintering time and temperature, density, porosity, permeability, thermal stability, and ionizer performance were studied. The results to all the experimental investigations along with a description of the experimental approach are presented.
