From molecular autoionization to thermionic emission [PDF]
Molecular Physics, 2007 Autoionization of Rydberg states and delayed ionization are two decay processes where the excess energy in the molecule or cluster is released by ejecting a free electron. While precise spectroscopic studies of molecular autoionization are commonly performed, allowing a very detailed understanding of the ongoing processes, the study of delayed ...

A statistical mechanics derivation of the empirical asymptotic thermionic emission equation
AIP Advances, 2019 This paper will obtain a physical derivation for a very useful empirical emission formula. Thermionic emission has long been understood, by the supply side limited regime, described by Richardson-Dushman’s equation and the space charge regime by Child ...
