Abstract(in English) According to Richardson's equation, the high current-density cathode could be realized by the reduction of the work function and/or the increase of the value of the constant A'. Here, numerous attempts have been made of fabricating a high current-density dispenser cathode by reducing the work function. However, only few attempts have so far been made of fabricating such a dispenser cathode by increasing the magnitude of the constant A'. We therefore made an experiment where the value of the constant A' was increased by forming a large electron emission area of a fine-structured tungsten layer. The result was that the current density of the cathode with the increased emission area improved as compared with that of the conventional Ir-coated dispenser cathode. At 1050℃b, for example, the zero-field emission in our case was 16A/cm^2. Consequently, to increase the value of constant A' by increasing the emission area is a significant method of increasing the density of current from a cathode as well as reducing the work function.
