Abstract
The characteristics of unipolar and bipolar flat diodes in the ion fountain regime have been thoroughly investigated. It is shown that, in these cases, the concept of partial compensation of the electron space charge by ions is inapplicable and transition to relativistic energies always leads to a decrease in the electron current gain.
