Low Temperature Synthesis of Rare-Earth Hexaborides for Solar Energy Conversion

Thermionic energy conversion is an ideal way of converting concentrated solar energy into electricity. Developing suitable emitter/collector materials, with optimum work functions whilst being able to withstand elevated temperatures under high vacuum conditions, is a major challenge. Rare-earth hex...
