Three-dimensional ion distribution in a filtered vacuum arc discharge

Three-dimensional measurements of the ion flux along the filter of a magnetically filtered d-c vacuum arc are presented. The device includes a metallic plasma-generating chamber with cooper electrodes coupled to a substrate chamber through a quarter-torus magnetic filter. The filtering magnetic fiel...
