Abstract
In atomic vapor laser isotope separation (AVLIS), an ion collection method which has a short collection time and low applied potential is required. We demonstrated that by using a positively biased wire electrode, the ions are collected from the laser-induced plasma in a shorter time at the same applied potential or at lower electric potential in the same collection times compared with the conventional parallel electrode method. The ion collection times could be estimated using simple one-dimensional models for both the wire electrode method and the parallel electrode method.Keywords
