Abstract (en)

Cathode comprising a matrix (4) made of a porous material impregnated with an emissive product (aluminates of barium and of calcium). The porous body (4) is covered with a layer (5) of a non-porous refractory material and has prescribed porosity thanks to a set of narrow slots (6) obtained by etching. This layer is advantageously obtained by chemical vapour-phase deposition (C.V.D.) and has a thickness of the order of one to several hundred micrometres. <IMAGE>
