Tube Failure Mechanisms.

Abstract

The investigation focused attention on (1) high voltage breakdown in vacuum as it occurs across vacuum gaps and along insulating surfaces and (2) surface studies of metal-oxide composite cathodes, as exemplified by the tungsten-thoria (W-ThO2) cermet cathode, pertaining to the chemical and topographical changes resulting from heat and electron bombardment.
