Medical Definition of Ion diode
1.
Device for producing and accelerating ion beams for light ion drivers for inertial confinement fusion.
Ions are produced in an anode plasma, extracted as space-charge-limited ion flow, and accelerated to the cathode, composed of a confined electron swarm, by an applied electric field. Millions of amperes of current at millions of volts have been produced this way.
