Pseudo ribbon metal ion beam source.

The paper describes high broad metal ion source based on dc macroparticle filtered vacuum arc plasma generation with the dc ion-beam extraction. The possibility of formation of pseudo ribbon beam of metal ions with the parameters: ion beam length 0.6 m, ion current up to 0.

Plasma immersion ion charge state and mass spectrometer.

Investigation results of charge state of monocomponent plasma of Ti, Zr, W, and N, as well as that of multicomponent metal plasma of Ti/Zr (50/50 at.%) using plasma-immersion time-of-flight spectrometer are presented in the paper. The case of pressure impact in the working chamber on the ion charge state of combined metal (Ti) and gas-discharge (N) plasma is considered.
