Abstract

See full text

A monolithic graphite heater for heating a thermionic electron cathode includes first and second electrically conductive arms, each one of the first and second electrically conductive arms having an electrode mount at a proximal end, a thermal apex at a distal end, and a transitional region between the electrode mount and the thermal apex; a cathode mount electrically and mechanically coupling each thermal apex to form a maximum Joule-heating region at or adjacent the cathode mount and decreasing Joule-heating along each transitional region; and a press-fit aperture formed in the cathode mount, the press-fit aperture sized to receive at least a portion of the thermionic electron cathode for facilitating thermionic emission produced therefrom in response to operative heat power generation provided by the maximum Joule-heating region.
