Thermionic Emission of Diamond Using Laser as a Heat Source
Preliminary experimentation shows diamond emits electrons at high temperature through a phenomenon known as thermionic emission. This thesis details an experiment to quantify the thermionic emission of a diamond on silicon vacuum cathode at high temperatures and to test the efficiency of thermal hea...
