The Approach to Equilibrium in a Reflex Triode

Abstract

Analytic and PIC descriptions are combined to provide a theory of reflex triode operation in and near the steady state. The spectrum of reflecting electrons is examined both for a steady input of electrons into the scattering foil and the dynamically evolving process of achieving the reflexing equilibrium. Simple approximations to analytic modifications of the classical theory then offer a more versatile theory of the reflexing system. Keywords: Triodes; Electron scattering.
