thermionic current
Thermionic current is the electric current that is generated when thermionic emission occurs. It is the flow of charged particles, typically electrons, caused by thermal vibrations that are strong enough to overcome the material's work function or the energy required to free the particles from its surface. It is often observed in vacuum tubes and thermionic valves where an electric current is conducted via a vacuum. These are usually driven by an external power source or high temperatures.
