Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0135434A1] The invention concerns a cathode emitting electrons comprising a substrate (1) produced in the form of a metal filament having a diameter ranging between 50 and 400 mu m and, preferably, of the order of 100 mu m, or a planar metal chip whereof the emitting surface ranges between 0.01 mm<2> and 100 mm<2>, the metal substrate (1) being coated with a metal oxide layer (4) obtained from a sol containing a metal alkoxide (M - (OR)n wherein M represents a metal and R an alkyl group), the metal oxide layer (4) defining with the metal substrate (1), an electronic junction having a potential barrier height of a few tenths of electrons volts and having a thickness ranging between 1 and 10 nm and, preferably, of the order of 5 nm.
