The principal use of lanthanum hexaboride is in hot cathodes, either as a single crystal or as a coating deposited by physical vapor deposition.
Lanthanum hexaboride (also called lanthanum boride and LaB6) is an inorganic chemical, a boride of lanthanum.
Properties of Lanthanum hexaboride:
-High melting point of 2528 K
-Insoluble in water and hydrochloric acid
-High electron emissivity
-Stable in vacuum
