DOE/JPL advanced thermionic technology program. Progress report No. 34, June-July 1978. Report No. TE4237/4247-19-79
The work function of L605, the optimized converter (L605 emitter, nickel collector) performance at various spacings and fixed emitter temperatures, I-V characteristics a sprayed BaO thermionic converter, and characteristics of combustion-heated thermionic devices are presented graphically. Spacing experiments, a particle thermionic converter, and alloy hot shell development are described. A high efficiency conversion experiment using a structured molybdenum-rhenium emitter and nickel collector is discussed. An extensive study of the high temperaure bonding of lanthanum hexaboride is described. (WHK)
