ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE-CHARGE INTERACTION IN CROSSED FIELDS.

Abstract

The purpose of the work on this contract is to investigate the interaction of electromagnetic waves and charge carriers in vacuum and solids. The construction of a crossed-field amplifier which will incorporate the results of our noise studies is in progress. Work on the crossed-field gun design method developed by R. A. Rao is being carried on to obtain designs for magnetically shielded guns. An experimental and theoretical evaluation of the crossed-field acoustic-wave amplifier is being conducted. Electromagnetic and space-charge waves in semiconductors are being studied in order to determine if there are microwave device applications. The effort during this quarter was devoted to trying to develop efficient means for interacting with the space-charge waves with energy from an external source. (Author)
