Local Electron Flow to the Anode in a Magnetically Insulated Diode
Abstract
Local electron flux to the anode of a magnetically-insulated diode was monitored. Intense electron bursts to the anode and slow variations in the electron flux were observed. Unlike the slow signals the bursts were accompanied by sharp increases in microwave emission and by increases in the ion current density. The electron bursts were not affected by the presence of the anode plasma. Indications suggested that the bursts were initiated by processes in the cathode plasma. (jhd)
