2. Lecture plan Physics of gas discharges
Ionisation
Positive ions sources
Negative ion sources
Charged particle optics
3. Ion sources
4. Plasmas Plasma is electrically neutral
Charged particles excert a force on each other within shielding distance
Plasma is electrically conducting
Electric field only penitrate as far as Debeye screening lengthlD
Electron and ions have different tempertures (1 eV = 11 600 K)
Plasma density ~1010-1016 e cm-3
5. Gas discharge physics-I Ionisation by electron impact
Aq+ + e- ?A(q+1)+ + 2e-
Aq+ + e- ?A*(q+1)+ + e- A*q+ ? A(q+1)+ + e-
Under action of the electric field the electrons are accelerated between collsionsso they gain enough energy to electron impact ionise another atom
6. Gas discharge physics-II Across dx the change in the number of electrons crossing the plane
If n0 e- emitted by cathode, integrating gives:
If no losses for the whole tube:
a is the Townsends first ionisation coefficient or gas multiplication factor
7. Gas discharge physics-III If the mean free path of an electron in the E field direction is l then:
a must depend on the number of atom it encounters per unit distance, which at constant temperature
Then lumping together and replacing the unknown function f by F:
8. Types of gas discharge High frequency AC
Linear high frequency discharge
Cathode little importance
Significant fraction of charged particles cannot escape the discharge space
Electrodes can be outside the plasma
AC magnetic field
Discharge tube inside solenoid
AC current in solenoid induces circular currents
Tokamak
