Measurements of Argon-ion Flow in Negative Ion Containing Plasmas
A laser-induced-fluorescence diagnostics was set up for the investigation of ion flows in negative ion containing plasmas. The contingent of negative ions in Ar plasmas is varied by admixing O2. Results on flow measurements in different plasma devices are reported. First measurements were carried out in the linear double-plasma device, in the sheath region in front of an electrically floating p...
متن کاملEffect of Coulomb collision on the negative ion extraction mechanism in negative ion sources.
To improve the H(-) ion beam optics, it is necessary to understand the energy relaxation process of surface produced H(-) ions in the extraction region of Cs seeded H(-) ion sources. Coulomb collisions of charged particles have been introduced to the 2D3V-PIC (two dimension in real space and three dimension in velocity space particle-in-cell) model for the H(-) extraction by using the binary co...
متن کاملEffects of a Weak Transverse Magnetic Field and a Spatial Potential on Negative Ion Transport in Negative Ion Sources
The effects of the weak magnetic field on the negative ion ( ) extraction in a negative ion source have been studied by means of a two-dimensional electrostatic particle simulation. A particle-in-cell (PIC) model is used which simulates the motion of the charged particles in their self-consistent electric field. Since most electrons are magnetized by the weak magnetic field, it is shown that mo...
متن کاملEfficient negative ion production in rf plasmas using a mesh grid bias method.
Using a grid bias method for plasma parameter control, volume production of hydrogen negative ions H(-) is studied in pure hydrogen rf plasmas. Relationship between the extracted H(-) ion currents and plasma parameters is discussed. It is confirmed that both high and low electron temperature T(e) plasmas are produced in the separated regions when the grid is negatively biased. In addition, with...
متن کاملTwenty Five Years of Vibrational Kinetics and Negative Ion Production in H2 Plasmas: Modelling Aspects
Different approaches to study vibrational kinetics coupled to electron one for modeling different kinds of negative ion sources are presented. In particular two types of sources are investigated. The first one is a classical negative ion source in which the plasma is generated by thermoemitted electrons; in the second one, electrons already present in the mixture are accelerated by an RF field ...
