What thermionic emission means

What thermionic emission means

Thermionic emission from a heated metal filament showing electrons escaping the surface and the work function barrier Thermionic emission is the release of electrons from the surface of a heated metal. In a metal, conduction electrons can move through the lattice, but they still need enough energy to escape the surface completely.
