Polyatomic Ion-Induced Electron Emission (IIEE) in Electrospray Thrusters

Polyatomic Ion-Induced Electron Emission (IIEE) in Electrospray Thrusters

To better characterize the lifetime and performance of electrospray thrusters, electron emission due to electrode impingement by the propellant cation 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium (EMI+) has been evaluated with semi-empirical modeling techniques. Results demonstrate that electron emission due to grid...
