The Ultimate Richardson's constant - American History Information Guide and Reference

Richardson's constant is used in the field of thermionic emission. It is defined as:

$A = {4 \pi m k^2 e \over h^3} = 1.20173 \times 10^6 {A \over m^2 K^2}$

where m and e represent the mass and charge of an electron, k is the Boltzmann constant, and h is Planck's constant
