THE WETTABILITY OF LIQUID METAL ION SOURCES
No full textWetting of liquid metal alloys to solid substrates is governed by Young's equation, which relates the degree of wetting to the combined influence of solid-liquid, solid-vapor, and liquid-vapor surface tensions. It is important that a liquid metal alloy source exhibit good wetting with a near-zero contact angle. The wettability of several B-containing alloy systems is considered, with emphasis on the role of surface segregation on contact angle
MATERIALS CONSIDERATIONS IN LIQUID METAL ION SOURCE DEVELOPMENT
No full textSuccessful development of a liquid metal ion source depends upon the satisfactory confluence of several critical design considerations. At least nine desirable properties of the alloy and substrate exist which cannot be fully and simultaneously satisfied in a given contact system. A compromise must usually be made based upon the most important source characteristics. We review these properties, with emphasis on the material and thermodynamic behavior of liquid metal alloy surfaces
