Abstract
Number of electrons emitted from a Cs covered grid and plate per positive Cs ion striking them.—The source of the positive caesium ions, a short tungsten filament maintained at about 1200°K in the presence of caesium vapor, was mounted on the axis of a long cylindrical grid and plate. The plate current and total positive ion emission current were observed for each of several negative grid potentials as the plate potential was varied from +50 to -650 volts. From these observations the number of electrons that were emitted from the caesium covered grid and plate per positive ion was calculated. This number increased uniformly from 0.01 at approximately 100 volts to 0.15 at 600 volts.Keywords
