  • Abstract
    The Brillouin flow is the dominant flow in crossed-field devices. We systematically study its stability in conventional, planar, and inverted magnetron. We found that the negative mass effect in the inverted magnetron tends to destabilize the planar flow, and that the positive mass effect in the conventional magnetron tends to stabilize the planar flow.
