Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of teaching experimental devices, in particular to a metal electronic work function determination experimental device. Background Art
[0002] The phenomenon of electrons being emitted from a hot metal wire is called thermionic emission. The purpose of studying thermionic emission is to select suitable cathode materials. By studying the physical properties of cathode materials, we can understand their thermionic emission performance.
[0003] To measure the work function of metal materials, the metal wire to be measured is made into the cathode of the diode. A metal electrode is placed outside the cathode as the anode of the diode, and a vacuum glass tube is placed in it, which is called an ideal vacuum diode. The metal wire is heated by current, and an accelerating electric field voltage is applied to the two ends of the diode. After measuring the cathode temperature, anode voltage and emission current, the logarithm of the zero-field current I is obtained. The work function (work function) of the metal material can be calculated.
[0004] Using tungsten as the cathode (filament) material of the ideal diode means designing the electrode into a geometric shape that can be strictly analyzed, a coaxial cylindrical system; limiting the cathode emission surface to be measured within a certain length with uniform temperature and approximately treating the electrode as infinitely long, that is, an ideal state without edge effects. In order to avoid the cold end effect of the cathode (lower temperatures at both ends) and edge effects such as uneven electric field, an auxiliary (protective) anode is installed at each end of the anode. They are connected inside the tube and then led out of the tube, but the anode is insulated from them. Therefore, although the same voltage is applied to the protective anode as the anode, its current is not included in the measured thermal electron emission current. According to the filament (cathode) current If of the calibrated ideal diode, it can be measured with a more accurate digital ammeter, and the cathode temperature T can be obtained by looking up the calibration table, or the corresponding cathode temperature T can be obtained by using T=920.0+1600If; the size of the work function plays a decisive role in the strength of thermal electron emission;
[0005] In the existing technology, the metal electronic work function measurement teaching experimental device has a split structure, which is troublesome to connect during the experiment, and it is easy to cause damage due to wrong connection during the connection. In addition, the electromagnetic measuring meter is used during the experiment, which is easy to cause large experimental errors. Therefore, a metal electronic work function measurement experimental device is proposed, which can facilitate the experiment and improve the experimental error. Summary of the invention
