The Child–Langmuir Law (CL), discovered a century ago, gives the maximum current that
can be transported across a planar diode in the steady state. As a quintessential example of …

Space-charge-limited (SCL) flows in diodes have been an area of active research since the
pioneering work of Child and Langmuir in the early part of the last century. Indeed, the …

A comprehensive study of microwave vacuum electronic devices and their current and future
applications While both vacuum and solid-state electronics continue to evolve and provide …

This paper reviews the recent developments of space-charge-limited (SCL) flow or Child-
Langmuir (CL) law in the quantum regime. According to the classical CL law for planar …

We consider the limiting current from an emitting patch whose size is much smaller than the
anode–cathode spacing. The limiting current is formulated in terms of an integral equation. It …

Over the last decade, the Air Force Research Laboratory, Directed Energy Directorate
(AFRL/DE) has engaged in a high current density field emission cathode research program …

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) model of Child–Langmuir (CL) law for uniform
hot electron emission in planar and cylindrical gap, including the effects of finite emission …

Many high power electronic devices operate in a regime where the current they draw is
limited by the self-fields of the particles. This space charge limited current poses particular …

In this paper, we formulate a self-consistent model to study the space charge limited current
emission from a sharp tip in a dc gap. The tip is assumed to have a radius in the order of 10s …

An investigation of the properties of the plasma and the electron beam produced by velvet
cathodes in a diode powered by a∼ 200 kV⁠,∼ 300 ns pulse is presented. Spectroscopic …
