Technical Notes


1- "Optimum Operation of Hall-Current Ion Sources"

This article is about comparison of Closed Drift and end-Hall Ion Sources, especially about utilization of excessive electron emission for obtaining operational parameters higher than at regular Id ˜ Iem.  This article shows how to get higher ion beam current than at regular nominal conditions.  It also shows an end-Hall ion source dependence of an ion beam current of a magnetic field.

2- "Oscillations and Instabilities in Hall-Current Ion Sources"

This article shows that Hall-current ion sources have varieties of oscillations of discharge current and voltage.  Some oscillations can transform into instabilities that drastically change nominal operation with possible interruption. It is shown varieties of oscillations and what to do to mitigate them.

3- "Ion Source and Vacuum Chamber. Influence of Various Effects on Ion Beam Parameters"

This article shows that an ion source and a vacuum chamber are actively interact during ion source operation.  There are varieties of influencing factors such as entrained working gas flow, charge exchange, presence of double ionized particles, insufficient pumping means, returned to ion source sputtered particles, overheating of ion source parts, and many others that can disrupt regular nominal operation.  It is shown how these factors must be taken into account.

8- "Industrial Gridless Broad Beam Ion Sources and The Need for Their Standardization. Part 4B. Hall-Current Ion Sources, Problems and Solutions."

This article is about how to make various end-Hall and other ion sources obey certain requirement to become standardized with similar operating parameters becoming comparable to each other in the ion beam current and energy.
8-Zhurin Part4B 11-09 final-11-19-9-[1].pdf

9- "Cathods-Neutralizers For Ion Sources. Part 1. Introduction. Hot Filaments."

This article is about cathodes-neutralizers and, in particular, this part is about the most frequently utilized in practice of end-Hall ion sources its Hot Filaments.  We discuss the basics of ion beam neutralization with traditional and unusual placements of Hot Filaments.  Advantages and shortcomings.
