Growing Electric Space?Charge Waves

Abstract

A theory of growing space-charge electric waves, due to Pierce, Haeff, and others, is thought to explain the operation of Haeff's electron-wave tube and other amplifying devices and perhaps the origin of some solar radio emission. The theory is shown to be untenable, the growth predicted being spurious and due to misinterpretation of the dispersion equations.
