“…Early experiments were done in the 1950s [122]. In more recent studies, pulsed ion beams were produced from plasmas in the spark-arc transition region containing multiply charged ions up to 11+ [123,124] (Fig.…”

“…In an attempt to make higher charges states available for particle accelerators, ion implantation and surface modification, short pulse arcs with a brief initial spark phase can be utilized and further optimized by using pulsed high current, additional external magnetic fields and good vacuum practices (less gas adsorbates). Early experiments were done in the 1950s [122]. In more recent studies, pulsed ion beams were produced from plasmas in the spark-arc transition region containing multiply charged ions up to 11+ [123,124] (figure 11).…”

A much more complex image of the vacuum arc plasma emerges putting decades of experimentation and modeling in perspective.
