Basic Studies in Plasma Physics
Abstract
The primary focus of this three-year basic research effort was to obtain a better understanding of the fundamental physics of electron emission from a variety of surfaces and geometries. The very nature of emission phenomena tends itself perfectly to statistical physics analyses as used herein. The major subtopics addressed (and published) in the course of this grant include the following: space-charge-limited flow of a thin electron beam confined by a strong magnetic field, space-charge-limited flow in a rectangular geometry, ionization in a 1-D dipole model, and space-charge-limited 2-D unmagnetized flow in a wedge geometry.
