Space-charge limitation of secondary electron emission

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper deals with the calculation of the potential minimum due to the emission of “true” secondary electrons from a plane electrode. The results together with the corresponding limitation of the emission current are given in the form of graphs because an analytical solution of the problem is impossible.
