Abstract:
A discharge electrode emitting electrons into a discharge gas, encompasses an emitter and current supply terminals configured to supply electric current to the emitter. The emitter embraces a wide bandgap semiconductor having at 300 K a bandgap of 2.2 eV or wider. Acceptor impurity atoms and donor impurity atoms being doped in the wide bandgap semiconductor, the activation energy of the donor impurity atoms being larger than the activation energy of the acceptor impurity atoms.
