摘要
A possible source of electric field fluctuations in the anode plasma of a magnetically insulated ion diode which have been observed in recent experiments is discussed. It is suggested that these fluctuations are driven by the ion flow which destabilizes an electrostatic mode akin to two-stream instability. Evidence is presented for such a flow and its implications for the electric field polarization and magnitude are discussed.
