Abstract
The parameters of the current and dipole moment that arise during the discharging of a plane vacuum diode by a short photoemission pulse are studied analytically and numerically. Electron emission is induced by the ionizing radiation incident obliquely on the cathode. An approximate analytic model is developed that, under certain conditions, makes it possible to reduce the problem to that having a known solution for the normally incident ionizing radiation. In the case of a short pulse, scaling relationships for the parameters of the dipole layer are obtained as functions of the diode parameters (the interelectrode gap and applied voltage) and the angle of incidence of the ionizing radiation.
