A diagnostic technique for evaluation of cathode emission performance and defects in vehicle assembly

Abstract: A method for presenting cathode emission data has been developed which yields cathode performance curves i n a convenient form f o r t h e cathode engineer, design engineer, and end user. The curves provide important diagnostic information not previously available which characterizes cathode emission performance over t h e e n t i r e range of operation and indicates defects i n device fabrication. Direct comparisons of measurements on cathodes of various size and vehicle configuration are possible due t o t h… Show more

“…Since the emission from a specific location on the cathode surface is highly dependent on the neighboring work function distribution as well as the patchiness length scales, and on whether there are some highly emitting local hot spots, the Miram curve is unlikely to deconvolve into its constituent work function distribution. Our extensive tests using the 2-1/2-D model indicate that PWFD with a narrow work function distribution (∼0.1 eV [5]), and zero nonemitting regions, will always yield a sharp knee.…”

“…The evolution from the temperature-limited regime to this space-charge-limited regime for a cathode is characterized by its Miram curve, [5] a plot of anode current versus cathode temperature, while the transition region is known as the "knee" in the curve. For an ideal 1-D cathode with a uniform work function, the transition is highly abrupt, forming a sharp knee in the Miram curve.…”

“…Para a caracterização termiônica dos catodos investigados, realizou-se um estudo da metodologia de síntese do canhão eletrônico de Pierce de modo a determinar à geometria do canhão eletrônico adequada para a caracterização de emissão termiônica do catodo (tensão de aceleração e densidade de corrente de emissão, por exemplo). Realizouse, também, um estudo das características termiônicas segundo a teoria de Miram [2], por meio da distribuição da função trabalho do catodo, para se definir os parâmetros de emissão em condições de alta densidade de corrente de emissão, a partir de resultados obtidos, por experimentos realizados com baixa densidade de corrente de emissão.…”
