In the so-called Child-Langmuir law, established since 1911, an electron beam is formed linking two electrodes, which are assumed to be two parallel plates of area $A$, separated to a finite distance $D.$ When $% D\ll \sqrt{A},$…

The distribution of ions at the air/water interface plays a decisive role in many natural processes. It is generally understood that polarizable ions with low charge density are surface-active, implying they sit on top of the water surface.…
