Production of H− ions by thermal desorption process
H− or D− ion current extracted from a hydrogen or deuterium discharge plasma can be substantially enhanced by introducing a small quantity of an alkaline metal, such as cesium, into the extraction region of the ion source. The increase in the extractable H− or D− current is accompanied by a large re...
