An interchangeable-cathode vacuum arc plasma source.
A simplified vacuum arc design [based on metal vapor vacuum arc (MeVVA) concepts] is employed as a plasma source for a study of a (7)Be non-neutral plasma. The design includes a mechanism for interchanging the cathode source. Testing of the plasma source showed that it is capable of producing on the order of 10(12) charges at confinable energies using a boron-carbide disk as the cathode target....
متن کاملSource Properties of a Hollow Cathode Arc Plasma
Experiments have been carried out on the properties of a hollow cathode as an ion-source. The measured electron density, ion and neutral temperatures and drift velocities have been compared with predictions from the conservation laws for matter, momentum and energy. Very large exit drift velocities of ions and neutrals are observed. The magnitude and direction, against the electric field, can b...
متن کامل“Electrodeless” Plasma Cathode for Neutralization of Ion Thrusters
Significant progress has been made in the characterization of the necessary parameters required to create an effective Radio Frequency (RF) plasma based electron source. Such a device has the promise of comparable current densities to and longer operational lifetimes than hollow cathodes. The operational lifetime of hollow cathodes is ultimately limited by cathode deterioration. RF sources prov...
متن کاملIon kinetics in a magnetized plasma source
There are regimes of plasma source operation in which the ion motion is controlled by the ambipolar electric eld and ion-atom collisions. This paper presents a derivation of the corresponding ion distribution function and plasma density pro les in the source for a given electron temperature and a given gas ionization rate. Conditions are discussed under which the ion ux is predominantly radial ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a microwave ion source for ion implantations.
A microwave ion source is expected to have a long lifetime, as it has fewer consumables. Thus, we are in the process of developing a microwave ion source for ion implantation applications. In this paper, we report on a newly developed plasma chamber and the extracted P(+) beam currents. The volume of the plasma chamber is optimized by varying the length of a boron nitride block installed within...
