Abstract: | To optimize the processes of obtaining MgO with the highest possible exoemission intensity and time of decay, the influence
of dehydration conditions and the subsequent adsorption of active gases (H2, O2, and H2O vapor) on its parameters was investigated. The nature of adsorption centers and exoemission is discussed, based on the results
obtained using the latest literature data on dehydration processes, as are the formation of defects on the MgO surface (coloring
centers) and their interaction with hydrogen and oxygen. Due to the introduction of exoemissionally active MgO in the manufacturing
of plasma displays, the literature data dealing with the exposure of extremely active grains of oxide monocrystals containing
exoemission centers (OH-groups) are examined. |
