Abstract:

Experimental results show that the ion beam generated by a simple reflex triode can be made almost totally unidirectional toward the virtual cathode. This flow is accomplished by constructing the triode so that a controlled surface flashover generates plasma on only one side of the dielectric anode foil. Author
