Lithium-Fed Hollow Cathode Theory
A theory for the single-channel hollow cathode (SCHC) that includes the relevant physical processes and predicts the operating parameters is presented. A SCHC consists of a cylindrical channel approximately ten diameters in length through which a working gas (taken as lithium vapor here) flows and exits as a plasma. A high current (1-100 A) is conducted into the channel by the plasma and to the...
متن کاملLow-Current Hollow Cathode Evaluation
An experimental investigation of the operating characteristics of 3.2 mm diameter orificed hollow cathodes was conducted to examine low-current and low flow rate operation. Cathode power was minimized with low orifice aspect ratio and the use of an enclosed keeper. Cathode flow rate requirements were proportional to orifice diameter and the inverse of the orifice length. Cathode temperature pro...
متن کاملHollow Cathode Discharges - Analytical Applications
The low pressure glow discharges considered in this paper are the hollow cathode (Paschen), and the flat cathode (Grimm). Both discharges have similar voltage—current characteristics which are responsible for their radiation stability. The analytical sample is supplied to the discharge through a sputtering mechanism which provides a stable and non-selective source of particles. Some of the fund...
متن کاملIgnition and Early Operating Characteristics of a Low- Current C12A7 Hollow Cathode
Calcium aluminate electride 12CaO-7Al2O3:4e(e.g., C12A7:e-) shows promise as a low temperature electron emitter for hollow cathodes in spacecraft electric propulsion, but the material’s basic performance limits remain poorly understood, including an exact value for work function. As a supplement to a companion paper examining C12A7:eemission in a planar close-spaced diode configuration in vacuu...
متن کاملHollow Cathode Discharge Initiation and Fast Starting Cathode
Conditioning of the insert inside a hollow cathode is believed to be important to ensure reliable discharge initiation and subsequent cathode operation. The desorption of contaminates is reported from hollow cathodes as a function of heater power to quantify cathode conditioning characteristics and identify factors that might prevent the fast initiation of a discharge. In addition to conditioni...
