Emissive probe current bias method of measuring dc vacuum potential
- 1. Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin 53706
Description
It is experimentally demonstrated that, with proper current bias, emissive probes can accurately measure dc electric potential in a vacuum. A comparison is made of the accuracy and time response of this ''vacuum current bias'' method with two other emissive probe techniques, the inflection point in the limit of zero emission, and the floating potential of a strongly heated probe
