Abstract

Using a Hartree-polarization potential,the curve of the Ramsauer-Townsend effect obtained by a thyratron is analyzed. We also quantitatively investigate the phenomenon which occurs in the experiment of the Child-Langmuir law that the slope between ln I and ln Va ( where Va is the accelerating voltage) is less than 3 /2,by considering that the electrons have initial velocity.
