Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a method of manufacturing an electrode of a thermionic converter, a carbide layer is formed on a base material by a vapor synthesis, an N-type diamond layer doped with a donor impurity is formed on the carbide layer by a vapor synthesis, and a surface of the N-type diamond layer is terminated with hydrogen. The base material is made of a metal, and the carbide layer is made of a metal carbide.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing an electrode of a thermionic converter, the electrode being at least one of an emitter electrode and a collector electrode of the thermionic converter, the method comprising: forming a carbide layer on a base material by a vapor synthesis, the base material being made of a metal and the carbide layer being made of a metal carbide; forming an N-type diamond layer doped with a donor impurity on the carbide layer by a vapor synthesis…
