Abstract
Mechanisms for energetic ion generation that could explain the observed ion energies in the anode plasma of a magnetically insulated ion diode [Phys. Rev. A 39, 5842 (1989)], are discussed. It is suggested that strong electric fields that result from large density gradients on few tens of micrometers near the anode cause the ion acceleration. Steady state as well as time-dependent accelerations are examined.
