A carbon fiber array cathode (CFAC) was presented and tested in a magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator (MILO) in earlier papers; however, the performance of this cathode was not as good as the traditional polymer velvet cathode, and the nonuniform fibers' distribution on the cathode surface was postulated as the culprit for this. In this paper, this CFAC has been carefully reprocessed, and the performance is improved (efficiency increases from ∼12% to ∼16%) and reaches a level that is as good as the velvet cathode, which means that this CFAC provides a promising substitute for the polymer velvet cathode in MILO.

The properties of complex bodily fluids are linked to their biological functions through natural selection. Velvet worms capture their prey by ensnaring them with a proteinaceous fluid (slime). We examined the electrical conductivity of slime and found that dry slime is an insulator.

We present the repetitive operation research results of an L-band magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator with metal array cathode (MAC-MILO) in this paper. To ensure a more uniform emission of electrons emitted from the cathode, metal plates with different outer radii and thicknesses are periodically arranged in longitudinal direction on the cathode substrate to act as emitters. The higher order mode depressed MILO (HDMILO) structure is applied to ensure stability of the tube.

In order to explore the cathode with good repetition quality for the magnetically insulated transmission line oscillators, an improved metal-dielectric cathode is proposed and investigated experimentally. The cathode is designed to be step-like shape, and thin copper plated boards are periodically and compactly arrayed on the surface of the cathode base, which ensures the uniformity of the electrons emitted from the cusps of the copper plated boards. According to the numerical simulation results, the step-like shape is beneficial to convert the kinetic energy of the magnetic insulating current partially and enhance the beam-wave interaction efficiency.
