Number of particles in the space charge limited emission

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

What is the meaning of the paramater "number of particles per release N" in the space charge limited emission node?(Comsol 5.2)

From Comsol's particle tracing module user guide:

Number of particles:
Enter the Number of particles per release N (dimensionless). The default value
is 1 ×10^3.

How i can use to model the space charge limited emission? How is related to the current emitted from a simple planar chatode?

Thanks
