Electromagnetic surface-wave interactions with a semi-infinite single stream of plasma
The characteristics of an electromagnetic surface wave interacting with a semi-infinite single stream of a cold collisionless plasma are investigated by taking the plasma as a moving deformable polari...

A quantitative theory is presented for the voltage threshold of the frost instability in thermoplastic films. This theory was experimentally tested, using polystyrene films, under a wide variety of co...

Relativistic Brillouin solutions have been derived for electron flow in crossed electric and magnetic fields. The application of these solutions to the high nu/gamma diode is discussed and an approximate analytical expression for the anode current is derived. Measurements of diode current are compared to the theoretical and empirical expressions for diode current which have been developed.

  35. The cathode used by Blaugrund and Cooperstein was conical, but did not have the configuration shown in Fig. 1(b). The anode-cathode spacing was 0.377 cm at Ri = 1.95 cm, and the spacing d0 was 0.62 cm at a radius Rc of 4.2 cm. The configuration of this cathode was intermediate to those shown in Figs. 1(a) and 1(b); a geometrical factor of Rc/d0 (6.77) was used for this case also.
  36. For any of the geometrical configurations shown in Fig. 2, the critical current Ic is given by replacing Rc/d0 in Eq. (2) with the appropriate geometrical factor g from Table II.
