	Thin Film Lanthanum Hexaboride Coating [Updated: 08/20/2007] [Filesize: 888K] Magnetron sputtering was used to deposit a thin film of lanthanum hexaboride for cathode structures. The chemistry of the coating was studied with x-ray diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The work function and electron emission characteristics of the coating were studied. The work function was 2.4 - 2.6 eV. THIS PROCESS IS AVAILABLE FOR CONTINUED COMMERCIALIZATION - PLEASE CONTACT US FOR DETAILS.
	NANOCRYSTAL COATINGS; High T oxidation protection [Updated: 08/18/2007] [Filesize: 264K] Material Interface, Inc. is currently involved in the development and refinement of a coating that – · Imparts significant high temperature (tested to 1000°C) protection to stainless steel and other alloys, including nickel-based super alloys and aluminum alloys. · Limits oxide scale growth, yielding a very thin and adherent oxide. · Is economical and easy to apply through a simple dip process.
