This foundation article discusses the diagnostics of electrons and ions in plasmas and fluxes
of charged and neutral species toward plasma-facing surfaces by non-optical methods. The …

This topical review gathers the last updates concerning caesium-free negative ion sources
presented during the 63 rd Course of the International school of Quantum Electronics of the …

The flux of negative oxygen ions in a dc reactive magnetron discharge has been measured
using a specially developed magnetic-filtering probe. The gridded probe which operates as …

In this work plasma acceleration using a RF self-bias effect is experimentally studied. The
experiments are conducted using a novel plasma accelerator system, called Neptune …

Negative-ion sources are of considerable interest for applications such as materials
processing and neutral beam injection for magnetic confinement fusion. The efficient …

Technical plasmas have a wide range of industrial applications. The Encyclopedia of
Plasma Technology covers all aspects of plasma technology from the fundamentals to a …

An ion energy measurement method using a capillary plate with a high-aspect ratio is
proposed to obtain ion energy distribution (IED). When a capillary plate is used, an electron …

This paper presents experimental results showing that continuous negative ion extraction,
without co-extracted electrons, is possible from highly electronegative SF 6 ion-ion plasma …

This work focuses on the production of negative-ions on graphite and diamond surfaces
bombarded by positive ions in a low pressure (2 Pa) low power (20 W) capacitively coupled …

The production of negative ions is of significant interest for applications including mass
spectrometry, particle acceleration, material surface processing, and neutral beam injection …
