Description

This paper is involved in generation, explosion of cathode plasma of electron vacuum diode under four-pulse mode. Diode breakdown caused by cathode explosion is observed in experiment. On the assumption that the diode beams are space-charge-limited beams and according to the experimental data, the explosion velocity of cathode plasma is 0.5-4 cm/μs and is different from each other in different pulse process. The effects of explosion of cathode plasma on diode voltage, diode impedance and multi-pulse beams are analyzed too
