Modifications of Limiting Current and Magnetic Insulation in a Crossed-Field Diode by a Series Resistor

Adding an orthogonal magnetic field to a diode is crucial for multiple applications, including high power generation. These crossed-field diodes (CFDs) have curved electron trajectories that store current in the gap. Above a critical magnetic field referred to as the Hull cutoff, electrons emitted f...
