Abstract:Multiply charged ions of iron are produced from solid material in a 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source. An ECR plasma is confined in the mirror field superimposed by the octupole magnetic field. Microwave of 2.45 GHz frequency is normally launched by using a rod antenna. The ECR zone is formed around the bottom of the magnetic mirror trap. The multicharged iron ions are produced by directly sputtering and evaporating the pure material in the ECR plasma. Argon gas is usually chosen for suppo… Show more
