The 17 pages that link to Thermionic emission, each with the reason it gives.

• Photoelectric effectCompared with: Heating, rather than photon absorption, supplies the energy for electron escape.

• Cathode-ray tubeRelated: Many cathodes supply the electrons used to create the beam.

• Vacuum tubeRelated: Heated cathodes supply the electrons that vacuum tubes control.

• Thermoelectric effectCompared with: It converts heat through emitted particles rather than coupled transport inside a solid.

• Work functionRelated: Heating supplies energy to overcome the same surface barrier.

• Electron gunRelated: Heated cathodes use this process to supply electrons.

• Schottky barrierRelated: This process often governs current across Schottky contacts.

• Cathode rayRelated: Heating a cathode can supply electrons for a tube beam.

• Schottky diodeRelated: It describes a principal current mechanism across many Schottky barriers.

• John Ambrose FlemingBroader topic: The heated cathode supplies the electrons that make the Fleming valve conduct.

• Ohmic contactRelated: It can carry current across a metal–semiconductor interface when a barrier remains.

• Barium oxideRelated: BaO-containing cathode coatings can facilitate electron emission when heated.

• Cavity magnetronRelated: A heated cathode supplies the electrons that the magnetron accelerates and bunches.

• Metal–semiconductor junctionRelated: It describes current across a junction when carriers surmount the barrier.

• Owen RichardsonRelated: Richardson’s investigations of electron emission from hot bodies formed the basis of his Nobel-recognized work.

• Quantum tunnellingCompared with: Unlike tunnelling, it crosses the barrier by gaining enough energy to surmount it.

• Vacuum electronicsRelated: Heated cathodes supply electrons in many vacuum tubes.
