Abstract: | An analysis of some of the fundamental and special physical processes occurring in discharge and plasma ion sources is presented. The main purpose of the lecture is to present to the users of ion sources some key elements of information, of which not all may be generally recognised and which hopefully will be of value for a better understanding of the operational problems related to the complex behaviour of discharge and plasma ion sources. |
