ELECTRON EMISSION

1. The electron tube depends for its action on a stream of
electrons that act as current carriers. To produce this stream
of electrons a special metal electrode (cathode) is present in
every tube. But at ordinary room temperatures the free elec­
trons in the cathode cannot leave its surface because of cer­
tain restraining forces that act as a barrier. These attractive
surface forces tend to keep the electrons within the cathode
substance, except for a small portion that happens to have
sufficient kinetic energy (energy of motion) to break through
the barrier. The majority of electrons move too slowly for
this to happen.

2. To escape from the surface of the material the electrons
must perform a certain amount of work to overcome the re­
straining surface forces. To do this work the electrons must
have sufficient energy imparted to them from some external
source of energy, since their own kinetic energy is inadequate.
There are four principal methods of obtaining electron emis­
sion from the surface of the material: thermionic emission,
photoelectric emission, field emission and secondary emis-

. sion.

3. Thermionic emission. It is the most important and one
\ most commonly used in electron tubes. In this method the

metal is heated, resulting in increased thermal or kinetic energy of the unbound electrons. Thus, a greater number of electrons will attain sufficient speed and energy to escape from the surface of the emitter. The number of electrons re­leased per unit area of an emitting surface is related to the absolute temperature of the cathode and a quantity of the

work an electron must perform when escaping from the emitting surface.

4. The thermionic emission is obtained by heating the
cathode electrically. This may be produced in two ways:
1. by using the electrons emitted from the heating spiral for
the conduction of current (direct heating) or 2. by arranging
the heating spiral in a nickel cylinder coated with barium
oxide which emits the electrons (indirect heating). Normally,
the method of indirect heating is used.

5. Photoelectric emission. In this process the energy of
the light radiation falling upon the metal surface is transferred
to the free electrons within the metal and speeds them up
sufficiently to enable them to leave the surface.

6. Field or cold-cathode emission. The application of a
strong electric field (i.e. a high positive voltage outside the
cathode surface) will literally pull the electrons out of the
material surface, because of the attraction of the positive field.
The stronger the field, the greater the field emission from
the cold emitter surface.

7. Secondary emission. When high-speed electrons sud­
denly strike a metallic surface they give up their kinetic
energy to the electrons and atoms which they strike. Some
of the bombarding electrons collide directly with free elec­
trons on the metal surface and may knock them out from the
surface. The electrons freed in this way are known as second­
ary emission electrons, since the primary electrons from
some other source must be available to bombard the second­
ary electron-emitting surface.

After reading the following text be ready to answer these ques­tions:

1. How many methods are there for heating cathodes? 2. Where to is the electric current applied in the direct meth­od? 3. Where to is the electric current applied in the indi­rect method? 4. What materials are used for cathodes? 5. What current can be used for heating them?

TEXT

1. Cathodes are heated electrically either directly or in­
directly. In the direct method, the electric current is applied
directly to a wire, called filament, that also serves as an elec­
tron emitter.

2. In the indirect method the electric current is applied
to a separate heater element, located inside a cylinder that
is coated with the emitting material. The cathode is thus
heated indirectly through heat transfer (трансформатор на­
кала) from the heater element. Alternating or direct current
can be used for both methods of heating.

3. The most commonly used materials for cathodes are
tungsten (вольфрам), heated to temperatures between 2000°
and 2800° C, thoriated tungsten (торированный вольфрам)
operated at about 1700° С and oxide-coated cathodes opera­
ted at about 800° to 1000° C. Most tubes are indirectly
heated.
