Abstract The large size high quality La_1-xNd_xB₆(x=0.1-0.3) single crystals had been successfully prepared by floating zone melting method using powder of LaB₆ and NdB₆ as raw materials. We investigated the thermionic emission performance of (100) plane of single crystals. The single crystals length was more than 40 mm and the diameter was greater than 4 mm.The single crystal tests of diffraction photographs, Laue pattern, rocking curves and fracture SEM images showed that the single crystals’ qua-lity was very high. The thermionic emission results showed that with the increase of Nd content, the null field thermionic emission current density decreased from 6.01 A/cm² to 4.83 A/cm² at 1 873 K, 4 000 V and the average of effective work function increased from 2.88 eV to 2.95 eV.

Key words： La_1-xNd_xB₆ single crystal thermionic emission floating zone melting rare earth hexaboride
