Thermal plasma synthesized nano-powders of (LaCe) B6 starting from oxide-based precursors and its field electron emission performance
High temperature synthesis process of microcrystalline and nanocrystalline (LaCe) B 6
using Self-propagating High temperature Synthesis (SHS) and arc plasma gas phase
condensation methods, respectively have been investigated. These methods are rapid and
economically viable processes used for the synthesis of technologically important refractory
hexaborides. Microcrystalline powders of (LaCe) B 6 were synthesized using the SHS
process, starting from oxide precursors of lanthanum, cerium, and boron. The powders …
