Description

A new type of retarding grid ion energy analyzer with a differential evacuation unit has been developed for the measurement of the ion energy distribution of a medium vacuum arc. The ion energy distribution in a cathodic arc plasma of 5 Pa pressure was measured. The experimental results indicate that the ion energy distribution measured with differential evacuation is more accurate than that measured without differential evacuation. copyright 1996 American Institute of Physics
