Description

Metal carbide needle tip, preparation method and application thereof, and electron gun
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of metal material functionalization, and particularly relates to a metal carbide needle tip, a preparation method and application thereof, and an electron gun.
Background
The metal carbide belongs to hard alloy and metal ceramic materials, and has the characteristics of high strength, high hardness, high melting point and the like. In recent years, metal carbide tips have been found to have a relatively low electron emission work function, can stably work in a high-temperature environment, and have a unique application value in the fields of scanning probe tips, field emission electron sources and the like.
The metal carbide is prepared by mixing transition metals (elements in IIIB group to VIII group of the periodic table) and carbon elements and then heating at high temperature. The carbon atoms have a radius of 77pm and easily enter the metal to form interstitial carbides. For metals with atomic radii less than 130pm, such as Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, etc. The carbides of these metals have properties between ionic and interstitial types; for metals with atomic radii larger than 130pm, such as W, Hf, Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta, etc., carbon atoms do not deform the metal lattice, but make the lattice more compact and solid, both are almost completely solid-dissolved and form a continuous solid solution, such as tantalum carbide and tungsten carbide, etc., have extremely high melting point and hardness and exhibit good metal properties such as electrical conductivity.
The metal carbide has excellent performance, but the shape of a needle point is difficult to obtain, and at present, three main obstacles exist: 1. the carbide material has the characteristics of high hardness, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and the like, and the traditional block material is very difficult to process into a nanometer-diameter needle point shape; 2. the field emission cathode is related to the crystal orientation and curvature diameter of the tip of the material, the emitting work functions of the needle points of different crystal orientations are different, the needle point curvature determines the resolution of the probe, the probe with smaller radius can effectively improve the imaging resolution, and the growth of the needle point of the single crystal metal carbide and the control of the curvature diameter are very difficult at present. 3. The metal carbide processing method has defects, for example, although the metal carbide needle tip can be prepared by using the focused ion beam method, the surface of the needle tip has serious Ga ion pollution, and the processing cost of the method is expensive.
Heretofore, no method has been found that can produce a metal carbide tip having a single crystal structure, controllable diameter and curvature, perfect surface atomic structure arrangement, no breakage and impurity adsorption, and strong mechanical bonding.
