dc.description.abstractThe effect of a slight misalignment in the magnetic field on a magnetically insulated diode is investigated. It is found that a slight tilt in the magnetic field, with a minute component along the dc electric field, completely destabilizes the cycloidal electron flow in the crossed-field gap. The final state consists of the classical Brillouin flow superimposed by a turbulent background, together with a slow electron drift across the gap. This disruption of the cycloidal flow is quite insensitive to the emission current density, and is due to the accumulation of space charge in the gap caused by the magnetic misalignment. This result was obtained from a one-dimensional simulation code. It reinforces the notion that the turbulent, near Brillouin-like states are generic in ALL vacuum crossed-field devices. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.en_US
