520 3 ‡aIn an experiment, it is found that stable film boiling occurs for ranges of emitter temperatures and of cesium and potassium vapor pressures which are appropriate for thermionic diodes.
520 3 ‡aThe conventional plasma thermocouple or thermionic energy-conversion diode has a solid-metal electron collector. In this report, a thermionic energy-conversion diode is evaluated which uses a liquid metal as the electron collector. Liquids such as cesium, rubidium, or potassium and their alloys, are separated from the hot emitter by the vapor film produced in film boiling. Such a vapor film would maintain electrical separation if the emitter became warp due to radiation damage, thus greatly improving the reliability of the in-core thermionic diode.
