Lilienfeld radiation explained

Lilienfeld radiation, named after Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, is electromagnetic radiation produced when electrons hit a metal surface.^[1]

The Smith–Purcell effect is believed to be a variant of Lilienfeld radiation.^[2]

Lilienfeld radiation is shown as Transition radiation by Vitaly Ginzburg and Ilya Frank in 1945^{[3] [4]}
