对铯蒸气电弧放电进行了分析。假设放电工作在火球模式下，通过两个共振激发态的累积电离是主要的电离机制，并且在共振辐射的等离子体中捕获导致激发态的有效寿命长。导出了铯电弧的伏安特性，并将其应用于热离子能量转换器。理论与实验得到了很好的定性一致。
An analysis of the cesium vapor arc discharge is presented. It is assumed that the discharge operates in the ball-of-fire mode, that cumulative ionization via the two resonance excited states is the predominant ionization mechanism, and that trapping in the plasma of the resonance radiation results in a long effective lifetime of the excited states. A volt-ampere characteristic is derived for the cesium arc and the results are applied to the thermionic energy converter. Good qualitative agreement is obtained between theory and experiment.
