Abstract :
Electrons are trapped around thicker sections of selectively etched wire which act as isolated positive nuclei. The trapped electrons are made visible by the glowing clouds around the thicker sections of wire. The object of this work is to improve the performance of an orbitron microwave maser in the production of submillimeter microwave radiation
