Abstract
A diode assembly for producing a pulsed fusion event in a z-pinch driver. The diode assembly includes an inner core formed of a fusionable fuel source material including a lithium compound formed of one or more lithium isotopes and one or more hydrogen isotopes. A lithium metal outer sheath is integrally formed around the inner core by decomposing a surface of the fusionable fuel source material.
