Temperature Dependence of the Electronics Characterization and mass spectra of Liquid Metal Alloy Ion Sources

Temperature Dependence of the Electronics Characterization and mass spectra of Liquid Metal Alloy Ion Sources

Ganetsos, T.; Mair, G. L. R.; Bischoff, L.

This is a comprehensive study of the characteristics of an AuGeSi and CoNd Liquid Metal Alloy Ion Source (LMAISs) [1]. Such characteristics include current-voltage curves and ion beam mass-spectra. A careful investigation has been undertaken where the temperature is one of the main variable experiment parameters [2]. Theoretical models support the experimental results.
