Abstract

The problem of space charge limited photoelectric emission in a plane parallel electrode geometry is considered for an emitting electrode composed of material with a constant optical absorption coefficient and a classical step surface barrier. Poisson's equation is solved for the limit of zero cathode temperature and this solution shown to be applicable to the general case if the ratio of the collection current J to the saturation current Js satisfies ( pi 2/3)(kT/h( nu - nu 0))2<
平面平行电极几何结构中空间电荷限制的光电发射
研究了由恒定光吸收系数材料和经典阶梯表面势垒组成的平面平行电极几何结构中空间电荷限制的光电发射问题。解出了阴极零温度极限的泊松方程,该解适用于集电电流J与饱和电流Js之比满足(pi 2/3)(kT/h(nu - nu 0))2<
