    Abstract: A duoplasmatron ion source with a partially ferromagnetic anode can be used in multiple applications, including the production of negative ions for secondary ion mass spectrometers and particle accelerators. A partially ferromagnetic anode, which may be embodied in a partially ferromagnetic anode insert, includes a ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic portions joined together at a juncture, with an ion extraction aperture defined in the ferromagnetic portion and the juncture being laterally offset from the aperture. An asymmetric magnetic field produced by the partially ferromagnetic region facilitates extraction of charged ions from the central, most intense region of a source plasma in the duoplasmatron ion source. A ferromagnetic conical portion of the anode defines the ion extraction aperture in order to maximize the magnetic field in the vicinity of this aperture.

    Abstract: An ion source of the side extraction type which includes auxiliary electrodes surrounding the cathode at the ends of the anode, and insulators surrounding the auxiliary electrodes and electrically isolating them from the anode. The auxiliary electrodes essentially define the ends of the discharge chamber, leaving the anode confined to the cylindrical surface surrounding the filament. Each insulator is made up of an inner insulator and an outer insulator with an annular space defined between them. The inner and outer insulators are each in the form of a cylinder with a radially extending flange formed at one end, and interfit with the anode and with each other such that cylindrical spaces are defined between the outer flange portion and the anode and between the inner and outer flange portions. These and other features contribute to improve the electrical isolation between the auxiliary electrode and the anode, prolong source life, and improve beam purity.

    Abstract: A linear anode layer ion source is provided that includes a top pole having a linear ion emitting slit. An anode under the top pole has a slit aligned with the top pole ion emitting slit. At least one magnet creates a magnetic field that passes through the anode slit. Wherein the width of the anode slit is 3 mm or less. A process of generating an accelerated ion beam is also provided that includes flowing a gas into proximity to said anode. By energizing a power supply electron flow is induced to the anode and the gas is ionized. Accelerating the ions from the anode through the linear ion emitting slit generates an accelerated ion beam by a process superior to that using a racetrack-shaped slit.

    Abstract: Longitudinally extending, foraminous cartridge means having a cylindrical side wall forming one flat, circular, tip end surface and an opposite end; an open-ended cavity, and uniformly spaced orifices for venting the cavity through the side wall in the annulus of a plasma ring for uniformly ejecting cesium for coating the flat, circular, surface. To this end, the cavity is filled with a cesium containing substance and attached to a heater in a hollow-discharge duoplasmatron. By coating the flat circular surface with a uniform monolayer of cesium and locating it in an electrical potential well at the end of a hollow-discharge, ion duoplasmatron source of an annular hydrogen plasma ring, the negative hydrogen production from the duoplasmatron is increased. The negative hydrogen is produced on the flat surface of the cartridge and extracted by the electrical potential well along a trajectory coaxial with the axis of the plasma ring.
