THE ROLE OF ALUMINUM AND ITS OXIDES AS SOURCES OR MODERATORS OF ELECTRONS IN SOLID PROPELLANT ROCKET EXHAUSTS.
Abstract
Evidence is presented for the occurrence of reactions which liberate ions from surfaces. Ions thus ejected from a wall in an atmosphere of active nitrogen include NO+, N+, N2+, N3+, and N4+. Surface chemionization reactions of this kind could be important in the production of excess ionization in rocket exhausts. A model is given for the propagation of electromagnetic waves through gas-particle plasmas. A refined approach was adopted for theoretical study of electron distributions about particles emitting thermionic electrons. Some preliminary results are given. (Author)
