Abstract
A simple calculation is presented in which the equation giving the current‐voltage characteristic of a self‐triggered channel ion source is derived. The source is made from a straight channel electron multiplier operated in the self‐sustained cascade mode. An analysis is given on each of the following topics: secondary emission and amplification in the channel, current saturation, and ion feedback. Comparison with experimental measurements is also presented.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
