Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

The nonlinear dynamics of an electron beam with a virtual cathode in a transit-current vircator system is numerically studied. The existence of complex modes, including chaotic ones, is shown. The physical processes in the electron beam are examined. It is found that the chaotic dynamics in an electron beam with a virtual cathode is due to the nonlinear interaction between the structures organized in it.
