Description

Rare earth hexaborides have unusual combination of properties with metallic conductivity and low work function as well as low volatility at temperatures providing technologically useful thermionic electron current density, micro-beam applications. Hexaborides of the rare-earth elements are considered for applications as wear- and corrosion-resistant hard coatings for decoration of consumer products such as eye-glass frames and wristwatch casings
