Abstract
Thermionic emission measurements using pulse techniques have been obtained from UC-coated W filaments in the temperature range of 1200°–2100°K. From the slope and intercept of the Richardson plot, a value of φ=2.94 ev and A=33 amp/cm2 deg2 was indicated. There is evidence that the energy required for electrons to escape at low fields might be several tenths ev higher than the 2.94 ev value.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
