ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a cathode member or pellet is provided, which realizes the sufficiently large increase of the electron emission capability by the current activation process and that prevents the maximum cathode current from being lowered as long as an electron emissive agent exists in the cathode member. First, (a) a nickel powder and a rare-earth-metal oxide powder are provided. (b) The nickel powder and the rare-earth-metal oxide powder are uniformly mixed together, thereby producing a first powder mixture. (c) The first powder mixture is heated in a hydrogen atmosphere, an inert atmosphere, or a vacuum atmosphere, thereby producing an intermetallic compound of nickel and the rare-earth metal in the first powder mixture. (d) The first powder mixture containing the intermetallic compound is uniformly mixed with an electron-emissive agent powder, thereby producing a second powder mixture. (e) The second powder mixture is sintered by a HIP process, thereby forming a cathode member. The intermetallic compound produced in the first powder mixture has a function to chemically decompose the electron emissive agent to thereby increase the electron emission performance of the electron emissive agent.
