Abstract:Two measurement methods to determine the rate of neutral free radical production by the photo-deionization of negative ion beams ( PDINIB ) are introduced. These methods, namely, photoelectron-current measurement by low-frequency electro-modulation probe ( PMMP ) and measurement of decrease in the negative-ion beam current ( DNIC ) were employed to evaluate the production rate in a trial surface-processing apparatus developed in the author's laboratory utilizing a steady-flux refined beam of neutral free radic… Show more
