Stability of Crossed-Field Amplifiers
Christopher Swenson, Ryan Revolinsky, Adam Brusstar +4
This research examines the stability of crossed-field amplifiers (CFAs) and characterizes their different modes of operation: amplification, driven oscillation, and self-excited os…
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…
On the Child-Langmuir Law in One, Two, and Three Dimensions
Y. Y. Lau, Dion Li, David P. Chernin
We consider the limiting current from an emitting patch whose size is much smaller than the anode-cathode spacing. The limiting current is formulated in terms of an integral equati…
