Extraction of negative hydrogen ions from a compact 14 GHz microwave ion source
2012
A pair of permanent magnets has formed enough intensity to realize electron cyclotron resonance condition for a 14 GHz microwave in a 2 cm diameter 9 cm long alumina discharge chamber. A three-electrode extraction system assembled in a magnetic shielding has formed a stable beam of negative hydrogen ions (H−) in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. The measured H− current density was about 1 mA/cm2 with only 50 W of discharge power, but the beam intensity had shown saturation against further increase in microwave power. The beam current decreased monotonically against increasing pressure.
