RESEARCH STUDIES IN THE ROLE OF ADDITIVES IN THE LOW TEMPERATURE CESIUM DIODE.
Abstract
A system which successfully permits various gases to be added in controlled amounts to a thermionic diode was constructed and utilized. The addition of neon and argon to a low temperature (1200 C) cesium diode resulted in improved performance at cesium bulb temperatures between 20 and 200 C. A tentative mechanism of cesium ion entrapment is forwarded as the basis for the enhanced discharge phenomena. (Author)
