This work presents a fully kinetic description to model the electron flow in the electronic crossed-field configuration observed in a smooth-bore magnetron. Through this model, it has been observed that, according to the electromagnetic field, the injection temperature and the charge density, the electron flow can be classified in two different stationary modes: magnetic insulation mode where most of the electrons returning to the cathode after a transient time and Child-Langmuir mode where most of the electrons reach the anode after a transient time. Focusing on magnetic insulated mode, it has been found that charge density and injection temperature define whether electrons are accelerated (accelerating regime) or decelerated (space-charge limited regime) on the cathode. Besides, when the injection temperature is relatively low (high), a small charge increase causes (does not cause) an abrupt transition between accelerating and space-charge limited regime. Basing on the results, it was possible to identify a critical temperature that separates abrupt and continuous behavior. The results have been verified by using self-consistent computer simulations*.

Free-electron lasers are devices which efficiently convert the kinetic energy from a relativistic electron beam into electromagnetic radiation, amplifying an initial small sign. The present work revisits the subject of mixing, saturation and space-charge effects in free-electron lasers. Use is made of the compressibility factor, which proves to be a helpful tool in the related systems of charged beams confined by static magnetic fields. The compressibility allows to build a semi-analytical model and to perform analytical estimates of the elapsed time until the onset of mixing, which in turn allows to estimate the saturated amplitude of the radiation field. In addition, the compressibility helps to pinpoint space-charge effects and the corresponding transition from Compton to Raman regimes. The semi-analytical model and the particles simulations are compared, exhibiting a good agreement.*
