Abstract
The temperature effect of anode dielectric materials on ion beam turn-on time is examined in a magnetically insulated pulsed ion diode. It is observed that the turn-on time decreased with temperature increase. This effect may be explained by a simple model in which electrons bombard the anode surface to generate desorbed and evaporated gas and trigger surface flashover to produce an anode plasma.Keywords
