| Zusammenfassung: | Self-protected electrodes which inherently limit field-emitted currents to a safe value and also stabilize such currents are disclosed. The electrodes are characterized by a plurality of columnar conductors connected at one end to a common potential source. The electrodes are insulated from one another along their lengths whereby the effective or exposed surfaces thereof are subdivided into a mosaic of conducting patches which are insulated from one another. |
