Electron Heating and Excess Noise in a Magnetron Diode

摘要

Electron heating up to temperatures of 10~5-10~6 K and the bombardment of the cathode, anode, and the end faces of a magnetron diode (MD) are explained by a random and nonelastic interaction of solitary waves-vortices. The excess noise conveys information about the internal structure of a vortex and is generated by a random motion of electron layers (of which the vortex consists) broken by collisions.
