To the theory of a plasma filled ion diode

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

A theoretical model of a low density plasma diode is proposed. At the stage when the magnetic field of the diode current magnetizes the plasma electrons the Hall electric field accelerates the ions towards the cathode. It is shown that the process of plasma rarefaction in this case appears as a plasma erosion shock wave propagating through the magnetized quasineutral plasma.
