Abstract :
The potentiality of surface flashover plasma produced from condensed materials is tested as a negative ion source of hydrogen. A coaxial magnetically insulated diode, whose cathode can be cooled by liquid nitrogen or liquid helium, is driven with a 5-Ohm/60nsec Blumlein line. The experimental results confirm the source effect on the negative ion generation. The diode behavior under the operating condition of negative or positive voltage polarity is also discussed.
