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 کاملMacroparticle generation in DC arc discharge from a WC cathode
We have studied macroparticle generation from a tungsten carbide (WC) cathode used in a dc vacuum arc discharge. Despite a relatively high decomposition/melting point (~ 3100 K), there is an intensive generation of visible particles with sizes in the range 20-35 μm. Visual observations during the discharge and scanning electron microscopy of the cathode surface as well as of collected macropart...
متن کاملP1-25: CW Microwave Radiation Source from Micro-Hollow Cathode Plasma Discharge
A continuous-wave microwave radiation source is under investigation using Micro-Hollow Cathode Discharge (MHCD) technology. Arrays of grooves, 50 microns in diameter and ~3 mm long have been fabricated to contain the plasma discharge. Argon discharge in the resonance cavity has been observed at atmospheric pressure. The turn-on voltage was observed to be 400V (383μA). Lowering the voltage to 31...
متن کاملTemporal Fluctuations in a 100-A LaB6 Hollow Cathode
The temporal fluctuations in the near plume of a 100-A LaB6 hollow cathode are experimentally investigated. A probe array is employed to measure the amplitude and dispersion of axial modes in the plume, and these properties are parametrically examined as a function of cathode operating investigations. The onset of ion acoustic turbulence (IAT) is observed at high current values, and the charact...
