  • Abstract
    High current pinched electron flow in diodes is shown to be self-limiting in the sense that for given diode voltage the electron current approaches a limiting value as R/d (cathode radius/gap) → ∞. The consequence is that in order to achieve electron impedances Ze <; 1Ω, one may have to e inject high-atomic-weight plasma into the diode.
