Abstract:Space-charge-limited (SCL) electron flow describes the maximum current density allowed for steady-state electron beam transport across a diode. It is central to the studies of high current diodes, high power microwave sources, vacuum microelectronics, and sheath physics in plasma processing, etc. It is also of interest to the contemporary studies of the nanogap and nanodiode. This thesis presents recent development and application of SCL current. Recently, various studies were conducted in using ultrafast lase… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
