Abstract:Images of ion sources in the plasma of a micropinch discharge were recorded. The most intense ion source was found to be a ≤1 mm diameter 3 mm long anode region. The main contribution to the images is made by single charged ions of the plasma forming element with energies of 10-50 keV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
