Radiation environmental testing of diode, transistor, and thermistor for use in nuclear space vehicle
In a thermionic diode, a cesium tube joining the emitter-collector area and the cesium reservoir is fitted with a copper bypass rod held in place by two standoff brackets. The rod transfers heat from the emitter-collector to the reservoir without going through the ceramic seal structure which surrounds the cesium tube and cannot sustain large temperature gradients.
Chemical regeneration of sublimated emitter electrode increases the operating efficiency and life of thermionic diodes. A gas which forms chemical compounds with the sublimated emitter material is introduced into the space between the emitter and the collector. The compounds migrate to the emitter where they decompose and redeposit the emitter material.
