Technological ion sources based on contracted discharges
Abstract
A universal ion source has been developed which, with appropriate arrangement of construction units, can serve as a plasma generator or as a source of accelerated ion beams of various substances, including active gases. In ion accelerator operation modes, the source provides ion beams with currents up to 0.6 A and energies up to 5 keV, with uniform distribution of ion current density across a beam cross-sectional area of up to 0.2 m2.
