On the two-dimensional Brillouin flow
Ryan A. Revolinsky, Christopher J. Swenson, Nicholas M. Jordan +2
The Brillouin flow is a rectilinear, sheared electron fluid flow in a crossed electric field (E) and magnetic field (B), in the E x B direction with zero flow velocity and zero ele…

Limiting Current on Periodic Electron Sheets in a Planar Diode
David Chernin, Dion Li, Y. Y. Lau
We consider the steady state limiting current that can be carried by an infinite periodic array of thin electron sheets spaced by period p in a planar diode of gap voltage V and ga…
