Pseudospark-sourced beam and its application in high-power millimeter-wave generation

Abstract A pseudospark (PS) discharge can generate an electron beam with a high current density. The electron beam can be self-focused by an ion channel and transported over a long distance without the need for an external magnetic field. Such features make it attractive to drive millimeter-wave/THz...
