Abstract. This article studied the emission properties of oxidized alloys of refractory metals (Mo-Zr) in a stream of cesium atoms. The aim of this work is to reduce the value of the work function of the alloy - oxygen - cesium system. The addition of 3 atomic% zirconium to molybdenum increases the value and stability of emission in the flux of cesium atoms during its oxidation in an oxygen atmosphere at its temperature T = 1200K. The surface of the Mo - Zr alloy was studied by Auger electron spectroscopy.

Keywords: emission, molybdenum, zirconium, Kirkendall effect, diffusion, adsorption, work function, temperature, surface, Auger spectrum, oxidation, concentration, oxygen - cesium - alloy, atmosphere, solubility, degassing, stabilization.
