Hot-Cathode Gas Diode

A hot-cathode gas diode is mostly used as a rectifier for moderate voltages because of large efficiency and good regulation. A hot-cathode gas diode having an oxide-coated cathode and a metallic anode enclosed in a glass envelope containing few inert gases under low pressure. For proper operation of the tube, the anode is always held at a positive potential with respect…
