Abstract

We studied the formation of the collector ion flow in magnetically insulated diodes (MID) with plate-, sphere-, and cone-shaped cathodes. The ions are formed as a result of the ionization of residual gas by electron bombardment and are focused into the cathode plasma region. This effect can negatively influence diode operation in the microsecond range of pulse duration.
