Abstract
Fine structure of the near-emitter region of a thermoelectronic laser energy converter with a high concentration of atoms of a readily ionized additive at this electrode have been studied with allowance for variations in the electron temperature. It is established that the electron temperature near the emitter exhibits a change by a factor of several. The ion composition of the plasma in a near-emitter region qualitatively changes with a distance from the electrode.
