Abstract
A thermionic system formed of two parallel plane emitters facing each other is analysed. By means of Tables, the distribution of potential between the emitters and the net space-charge-limited current which flows between them can be obtained for any emitter potential, temperature and saturation current density. The results are applied to practical problems including the thermo-electric and conductivity characteristics of oxide cathodes.
