Abstract
806,787. Discharge apparatus. VEB, VAKUTRONIK. Nov. 18, 1955 [May, 10, 1955] No. 33009/55. Class 39(1). An arrangement for the production of a high plasma density in the anode region of a low pressure gas discharge is characterised in that the discharge occurs in a strongly heterogeneous magnetic field, that the cathode or discharge portion serving as a supplier of electrons is disposed in a region of low magnetic field strength, that the anode is constituted by an axially bored disc disposed in a region of higher magnetic field strength, and that the magnetic field lines intersecting the cathode or discharge portion serving as a supplier of electrons converge on the anode bore. A testing apparatus, Fig. 1, for locating leaks in high vacuum equipment with hydrogen as the test gas comprises a glass envelope 6a which is attached to the vacuum equipment and is surrounded by a cylindrically milled-out iron member 7 provided with a permanent magnet 8 and an iron yoke 9. The magnet pole pieces 1 and 2 are located inside the envelope 6a and have axial bores, the walls of which act as cold cathodes. A ring anode 3, arranged symmetrically between the pole pieces 1 and 2, is provided with a lead-in conductor 10. A cylindrical member 6 connecting the pole pieces 1 and 2 is connected to a lead-in conductor 11. Electrons oscillate through the ring anode 3 and the discharge plasma is compressed by the magnetic field with consequent increase of the luminescence, which is further almost doubled by means of a mirror 4, thus enabling the gas which is at a pressure of about 10<SP>-5</SP> Tor. to be analysed by a simple pocket spectroscope 5 arranged coaxially with the anode and cathodes. The arrangement is applicable to ion sources, in which a high plasma density is desirable so that a high density beam of ions may be produced. In the ion source shown in Fig. 2, a thermionic cathode 12 is arranged in a bore in a magnet pole piece 14. The plasma 13 is compressed by the magnetic field between the pole piece 14 and a further pole piece 15 which acts as the anode and is provided with an inlay 16 of refractory material such as molybdenum or tungsten forming the ion emission aperture. In an alternative embodiment the bore in pole piece 14 is lengthened and the cathode 12 is spaced from the bore so that an additional compression of the plasma occurs at the entrance to the bore.
