RESEARCH ON CESIUM-VAPOR CELLS EMPLOYING CARBIDE EMITTERS.

Abstract

Measurements were performed on experimental thermionic cesium cells as direct converters of heat to electricity. Results indicate that cesium is adsorbthe surfaces of carbide emitters and that useful power is produced in a cell which contains a carbide emitter and carbide collector. Operational characteristics of identical thermionic cells which contained a tungsten emitter and carbide emitter are illus trated. (Author)
