Magnetic cutoff in high‐current diodes

John M. Creedon

Physics International Company, San Leandro, California 94577

The process of magnetic cutoff in diodes is investigated for several geometrical configurations. Generalized coordinates are used to show that the cutoff mechanism has certain basic properties which are common to all of the configurations considered. Theoretical solutions for two different one‐dimensional flow patterns are compared and shown to have similar mathematical properties. Measurements are compared to theory for several types of magnetic cutoff.
