Abstract

A new electron cyclotron resonance ion source has been constructed at Oshima College with a 2.45 GHz magnetron microwave source and permanent magnets employed as the main components. In addition, a solid-state power amplifier with a frequency range of 2.5–6.0 GHz was installed to study two-frequency plasma heating. Three solenoid coils were set up for adjusting the axial magnetic fields. Argon plasma generation and ion beam production have been conducted during the first year of operation. Ion current densities in the ECR plasma were measured using a biased disk. For 2.45 and 4.65 GHz two-frequency plasma heating, the ion density was approximately 1.5 times higher than that of 2.45 GHz single-frequency heating.

Design of a new electron cyclotron resonance ion source at Oshima National College of Maritime Technology

Journal Article Hirabara, N.; Izumihara, T.; Nakamizu, T.; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

A new electron cyclotron resonance ion/plasma source has been designed and will be built at Oshima National College of Maritime Technology by early 2014. We have developed an ion source that allows the control of the plasma parameters over a wide range of electron temperatures for material research. A minimum-B magnetic field composed of axial mirror fields and radial cusp fields was designed using mainly Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets. The axial magnetic field can be varied by three solenoid coils. The apparatus has 2.45 GHz magnetron and 2.5–6.0 GHz solid-state microwave sources.

Broad Ion Beam Extraction from Large Bore ECR Ion Source with Cylindrically Comb-Shaped Magnetic Fields Configuration by Feeding Simultaneously 11 to 13 GHz and 2.45 GHz Microwaves

Journal Article Kato, Y; Satani, T; Matsui, Y; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We tried to enlarge the operation window of an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source for producing the ECR plasma confined by cylindrically comb-shaped magnetic field, and for extracting the broad ion beam under the low pressures and low microwave powers. The magnetic field by permanent magnets constructs ECR zones at different positions for 2.45 GHz and 11 to 13 GHz microwaves, respectively. According to probe measurements, profiles of plasma density and temperature are different for using each single microwave. We conduct production of ECR plasma by launching simultaneously these two frequency microwaves, and obtain flat profiles of the electronmore »« less

Design and characterization of 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance plasma source with magnetron magnetic field configuration for high flux of hyperthermal neutral beam

Journal Article Kim, Seong; Kim, Dae; Yoo, Suk; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

A 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) source with a magnetron magnetic field configuration was developed to meet the demand of a hyperthermal neutral beam (HNB) flux on a substrate of more than 1x10{sup 15} cm{sup -2} s{sup -1} for industrial applications. The parameters of the operating pressure, ion density, electron temperature, and distance between the neutralization plate and the substrate for the HNB source are specified in a theoretical analysis. The electron temperature and the ion density are measured to characterize the ECR HNB source using a Langmuir probe and optical emission spectroscopy. The parameters of the ECR HNBmore »« less

A 2.45 GHz ECR ion source for production of medium charge states ions

Journal Article Wutte, D; Leitner, M; Williams, M; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

At the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory we are constructing an ECR ion source test facility for nuclear science as well as industrial applications experiments. For these purposes, a single-stage 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source has been designed and constructed. It features an axial magnetic field with a mirror ratio of up to six and a hexapole field produced by a simple Nd{endash}Fe{endash}B permanent magnet assembly. In order to enhance the ion confinement time, the source plasma volume has been enlarged as much as possible while still maintaining a high mirror ratio.

High current H{sub 2}{sup +} and H{sub 3}{sup +} beam generation by pulsed 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source

Journal Article Xu, Yuan; Peng, Shixiang; Ren, Haitao; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

The permanent magnet 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source at Peking University can produce more than 100 mA hydrogen ion beam working at pulsed mode. For the increasing requirements of cluster ions (H{sub 2}{sup +} and H{sub 3}{sup +}) in linac and cyclotron, experimental study was carried out to further understand the hydrogen plasma processes in the ion source for the generation of cluster ions. The constituents of extracted beam have been analyzed varying with the pulsed duration from 0.3 ms to 2.0 ms (repetition frequency 100 Hz) at different operation pressure. The fraction of cluster ions dramatically increasedmore »« less
