MAGNETIC FIELD EFFECTS IN THERMIONIC PLASMA DIODES

Abstract

Experiments to determine the effect of transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields on thermionic current transmission are described. The results obtained are in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions, and suggest the possibility of using magnetic modulation for a.c. generation.
