Metal Electric Work Function Experiment

BEX-8509
Metal Electric Work Function Experiment

This experiment measures the electron work function of tungsten using an "ideal" diode configuration, where the tungsten cathode is co-axial with a cylindrical anode. This design limits electron emission to a uniformly heated region, approximating an infinite-length electrode to eliminate edge effects. For the measurement experiment of Metal Electric Work Function (work function), basic experimental methods such as Richardson's straight line measurement method, epitaxy measurement method and compensation measurement method are comprehensively applied. There is better skill training in data processing. Therefore, this is a more meaningful experiment.

Features of BEX-8509 Metal Electric Work Function Experiment

  • Dedicated Diode Mounting Unit, independently mounted ideal vacuum diode with transparent acrylic safety shield allows clear observation of diode operation while protecting glass components. Socket features marked schematic diagram for enhanced conceptual understanding


  • Accurate anode current measurement module: the anode current measurement module uses a micro-amp current amplifier and a four and a half digital display meter, with a measurement range of up to 0.1uA~20mA, which can measure weak anode current accurately, finely and stably.


  • Stable anode voltage output module: the anode voltage output uses a linear power supply, and the output amplitude reaches 0~160.0V, which can provide the anode voltage of the vacuum diode stably and efficiently.

Applications of BEX-8509 Metal Electric Work Function Experiment

  • Measurement experiment of Metal Electric Work Function (work function).

  • Learn basic experimental methods such as Richardson's straight line measurement method, epitaxy measurement method and compensation measurement.
