Abstract
Parameter dependencies of ion extraction time by an external electric field have been investigated by using barium plasmas suddenly produced between parallel-plate electrodes under a variety of experimental conditions. It is concluded that the ion extraction time can be expressed as the product of exponents of the three controllable parameters, applied voltage, plasma width, and ion density. This scaling relation can estimate the ion extraction time with an accuracy of 15% for a given controllable parameter set, supporting its universality.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
