Abstract
Our previously reported results demonstrated that an intense gigawatt relativistic electron beam can be generated in a cylindrical diode in the presence of prepulse. This article reports intense electron beam generation in a cylindrical electron beam diode when subjected to a high voltage bipolar pulse. The experimental results are compared to the Langmuir–Blodgett law. The diode perveance in the positive voltage pulse linearly increases with time due to the increase in the emission area. It was found that the electron beam can be generated from the diode during the negative voltage pulse due to a very little gap closure during the positive voltage pulse.
