NASA/DOE Advanced Thermionic Technology Program progress report No. 29
The design of the Adjustable Cesium Pressure Activation Chanber for characterizing electrode materials in an equilibrium cesium pressure is described. Experimental emitter and collector work functions and measured and calculated I-V curves and plasma parameters for a thermionic diode are presented. The status of various converter construction and testing projects is outlined. Also, hot shell development and flame-heated thermionic device development are discussed. (WHK)
