Abstract :
Electron self-acceleration takes place in a cathode-anode interval during electron emission from a metal cathode. This effect provides the appearance of the corresponding additional source of current in the equivalent electrical circuit of the diode. It is interesting to ascertain as this effect is modified in case of electron emission from a plasma cathode. This problem is investigated in the present report
