Using the electron spectroscopy method for chemical analysis, it was experimentally established for the first time that microimpurities of d elements (W, Re, Ni, Pd, Os) in BaO crystallites from the composition of cathodes of microwave devices lead to the formation of donor-type surface states on the crystallite surface, which can partially compensate acceptor-type surface states due to surface oxygen vacancies, which leads to a decrease in the potential barrier on the crystallite surface and, accordingly, to a decrease the magnitude of the work function of the cathode. Key words: cathodes of microwave devices, crystallites of barium oxide, trace elements of d-elements, surface states of donor and acceptor type.
