An electrodynamic interpretation of virtual-cathode oscillations
Abstract
Virtual cathode oscillations and particle bunching which were proven to be electrodynamic shock induced phenomena when magnetic field and thermal effects are small compared to those due to plasma energy and electric fields are discussed. The complete solution of one dimensional problems is reduced to quadratures.
