the limit on current between electrodes in vacuum set by the space charge of emitted electrons, scaling with voltage to the three-halves power.

In vacuum electronics, Child-Langmuir law refers to the limit on current between electrodes in vacuum set by the space charge of emitted electrons, scaling with voltage to the three-halves power. This meaning comes from Langmuir (1913) in Physical Review.[1]
