Influence of Cathode Diameter on the Operation of a Planar Diode with an Explosive Emission Cathode

<table>Calculated time-dependent change in perveance of the planar diode, taking into account (1) both the reduction of the A-K gap and increase in cathode area (radial plasma expansion); (2) only the reduction of the A-K gap.</table>
