Abstract

We investigate the characteristics of emission current waves of antiferroelectric cathode material lanthanum-doped lead zirconate stannate titanate (PLZST) triggered by pulse field, and analyze the relationship of the emission current waveforms with the extraction voltage. The close correlation between the triggering pulse polarity and emission current waveform observed evidences the relevant physical process of electron emission. We speculate that the primary emission may result from local phase transition and field emission in the vicinity of triple junctions, and the plasma formation may enhance the electron emission.
