Abstract
A theory for space-charge-limited current in gas-filled thermionic diodes has been developed which takes into consideration the variation of mean free path with electronic energy. The theory is applied to experimental data obtained on gas-filled diodes containing helium, neon, argon, and krypton, in the pressure range 1–700 Torr, and is shown to be in reasonable agreement with experiment.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
