An Electron Beam Heated Evaporation Source
نویسنده
چکیده
An electron beam evaporator has been assembled, tested and used for deposition of thin nickel films. Flux and deposition rates has been measured with an oscillating quartz crystal monitor (QCM), an ion sensor wire, and visible deposition on a mirror on front of the evaporator. A thin nickel rod of 2 mm diameter was found to improve the pressure in comparison to a 6-mm nickel rod. The flux was typically 3-4 Angstroms per minute during the test, but other flux rates can easily be achieved by changing the filament current and the acceleration voltage.

Rate control in dual source evaporation
Two-component thin films are deposited in a high-vacuum system from two close sources, heated by an electron beam which is deflected between them. By using quartz-crystal monitors the evaporation rates are measured separately, which is usually considered to be problematical. One rate signal is used to regulate the appropriate deposition rate by controlling the emission current. The other deposi...

متن کاملThe gas - dynamic model of impulsive stellar flares
We investigate the response of a plasma in a magnetically confined loop to intense impulsive energy release during stellar flares. We carry out a numerical simulation of gas-dynamic processes in an approximation to a single-fluid, two-temperature, plasma with a possible distinction between the ion and electron temperatures taken into account. We present here results of the modelling for an init...
متن کاملDesign and parametric study of a radio-frequency cathode
Hollow cathodes have been commonly used as the electron source and neutralizer for ion thrusters and other electric propulsion devices (like Hall thrusters)till 1960s. They provide high electron current density by using low electric power and gas. However, they have some disadvantages: Hollow cathode’s lifetime is limited by the erosion and evaporation of the insert. Additionally, impurities in...
